Suspicion

She looks at your direction

behind dark glasses

certain she stares at you

you feel

embarrassed for your fat belly

and your gray beard so you turn

your head the other way

as if to conceal your uncomfortableness

being stared at by such a pretty blond

and you miss paying attention

to her faint smile resembling Mona Lisa’s

indeed she was gazing at you

perhaps admiring your gray beard

or your straight posture

holding the handrail

of the Metro rumbling along

the dark underground tunnel
