i come in sometimes

stand behind you

& you have no clue

being totally absorbed

i try not to interfere

& you don’t ever know

i’ve been here

she’s not complaining

her tone is of telling

understanding that for me

the world disappears

as i search for the word

the path the line through

trying to explain this world

to any & all of you

i do interrupt for coffee

she continues her explain

sometimes i go out

& you don’t notice that

the passage of time

i can see you’re involved

so i leave you to it

& this i do everyday

i smile offer a kiss

show my thanks & affection

in being left alone

trying to contact the world
