I'll peek
Step on, find a seat, five days of the week.
Small garage, slanted door, it’s cold, rose cheek.
I peer out the polycarbonate window where you stick.
You work behind a coffee shop, yet your action’s not quick.
You are petting a dog; his coat looks sleek.
New day, scene change, your floorboards crack, creek.
You are writing in the notebook, what sweater did you pick?
Am I the only one who glances at you while carsick?
Then the roll-up is closed, the bus feels bleak.
I know you’ll be back; we’ll start a new streak.
I hope you are warm, maybe there's a glowing candlestick.
Perhaps you’ll be unwinding and chewing on a toothpick.
If it rains one day, rooftop has a leak,
I’ll be on my conveyance, and I’ll peek.
