Some Other Place...She'd Go....Somewhere Poem by James B. Earley

Long he wondered
This quirk....he saw
....A quirk indeed
Though...not...a flaw

....Why and what
Is on her mind....
Seems...in deep thought
...Each and every time

Listening.....closely
To everything he'd say
But every now and then
She'd glance away

.....Momentary
She'd....simply stare
...Some other place
She'd go somewhere

...Just...as quickly
Still....unexplained
...Refocused eyes
Returned again
*
*
....As time.....went on
Their paths would cross
Through all those years
....He's....at a loss

Why and what...perhaps
....Is on..her mind
Seems in deep thought
....Each...and every....time
