getting attention
Rotate around the axis
Or revolve around another
Orbital paths in space
Defined by gravity’s tug
Not so gentle!
Pass the coffee aisle in the grocery store
All heads turn
Inhalation is auditory with the crackle and growl of grinded beans.
Attention given is stolen
Or deserved. And just who do you think you are, anyway?
Welcome home, Mr. Fancypants in the stars
The audience awaits, crescent-shaped on bleachers of stone
All ears open, mouths closed, chests still
Idle sounds click and echo—
Cage would be proud.
Ahems and sniffles decorate the air.
