look.

you see it? right there, there they are. they are so very interesting. its the way they move their hand. the exact angle their nose is curved at. just how precisely their lips come together. the subtle movements of the body. their posture. the way they touched their necked just then, and how you followed the small arc made by their hand on its way down to their lap. the subtle color of their skin. they are so very perfect and quietly beautiful.
and then they start to tilt their head just enough for you to notice the color of their eyes and the smooth elegance of their face...
and they have noticed that your staring at them...
do you look away? keep staring? make a motion? pretend to be looking behind them? what?
looking away is implied guilt, because why else would our eyes be averted so quickly if not because we were guilty of the act? and why should we feel so wrong about looking at someone in admiration (not in lust, for that is perhaps an emotion that brings guilt inherently)?
just wondering.
