The girl with straight fair hair
I’m an observer
And I watch the world go round
You may have seen me
I sit on a bench
Drink coffee in a café
Or ride on a train
And I write stories
An anxious mother and child
A teen on the phone
I walk in the park
The devoted couple kiss
My eyes capture it
Hush, they talk to me
Unknown they tell their secrets
Even that scrawny girl
I'll write her story
That one with the straight fair
hair
You’ll hear it from
me
People are desperate to talk about themselves because no one listens or is interested in anyone apart from themselves. I experience this all the time. Complete strangers confide the most intimate things to me.We live in a brutally self centred world I am afraid.
ReplyDeleteBeing observant one gets to know about lots of people, certainly! Nicely oldegg!

Park benches and coffee shops are like churches these days..where we gather and gossip..and wonder..you never know maybe she is watching him and writing her own story
ReplyDeletePeople watching is so much fun!
ReplyDeleteSo, why are we still waiting? An excellent puff for the story.
ReplyDeleteyes people watching is so much fun and you can let your imagination soar.
ReplyDeleteToo few observe. Or care to even. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteWe get our best stories by sitting still and observing.
