passing time

 

At the mall

Standing at the corner

Many watch the women walking by

Swaying bodies in high heels or sports shoes

Many young women

The life full of vibrancy

They may have holding secrets

Laughing or smiling or wanting something

Watching them

Shopping by the windows

Eyes glow hand-phones on ride

Dreaming of a time in castle

Many men just look

Watching the young women

They dare not approach

Afraid of the wrong signal

The young women smile

Tempting the men to try

Yet many I watch stay still

Afraid of the wrong time

At the mall

Watching young women walking by

They signal they want to entice

Many men get cold to approach

Passing the time

Window shopping in their eyes

Doing nothing gain no traction

The young women pass by
