Second Hand

by Hiro Protagonist - Leo

On 10th I stand
On arm, finger
Reaching upwards,
Towards the sky. 
Still you run by, 
Pass me without a second glance.

Onward to 11th, 
Looking behind
I see a man, 
Casting a shadow 
As long as mine.  
Nowhere to hide,
But then it is you, 
I feel fine,
Yet irritated as you walk by.

I push on.  
Hurriedly I look back.  
Glare.  
Looking back I 
Stare.  
You again!  
You run around the bend
Practically stepping upon my feet.  

I stop at the corner of 12th.  
Refusing to take another step.  
To my delight I meet someone new.  
You come along too.  
I ask, "Traveler, have you traveled far?"  
Your reply, "Yes my friend, from the stars."
