- Jake West
What Do They See?
The three girls
Naturally giggling just as the leaves tend to rustle
They spot the love of their life
Of course never spoken, just felt
Just watch as he scribbles love letters for their wedding day
Oh how handsome
Oh how insightful
Oh how strong
Oh how
The mother with her daughter
Naturally scared just as a dog hears thunder
She spots a predator
Of course never spoken, just felt
Just watch the way he looks at her, STOP LOOKING AT HER!
Oh how scary
Oh how wrong
Oh how gross
Oh how
The couple
Naturally laughing just as hyenas do without a know in the world
They spot a philosopher
Of course never spoken, just felt
Just watch him stare ahead until the trees around him bleed the truth of the universe
Oh how wise
Oh how intelligent
Oh how motivated
Oh how
And then I wonder, after they are all done looking at me
Did any of them spot a boy?
Just wanting to write
Just wanting to think
Just wanting to see
Oh how nice that would be
Because then more than just the daughter and I would have noticed the butterfly dancing
around her head
