The Sight I Saw

Would you like to see what I saw
at 9:20 PM, December 1st, 1998, Tuesday chilly night

one star, one tree, one ceiling light, one security light
one door, one set of windows, one street through one fence
one person studying from that one set of windows
Does she see me?  What is she studying, what is she thinking.
Few people pass, even fewer notice.
one plane, two coughs, two more
voices, shouts, females, a guy

a wish, my mind is clouded, I should be transferring
my sight, instead my mind slowly leaks
there's a loneliness, I feel like half a person.
where is she? the one
the one that makes me one
I see one face most prominent in my mind
I secretly let her know that she is secretly liked
If only she felt the same and I knew it

one more plane, I must move
the room becomes occupied by men
while I am outside the window facing
the building of books and machines
quite funny, quite sad, this is where I am
