They look through me
In and around me
Of my curved bodice - they admire
A plain and simple chalice that bends in its mold
That finds itself unseen in the corner
Finds itself unnoticed even displayed on shelves
Wearing jewels and diamonds that deter the planes from the skyscraper I am
From the massive enigma that I am
Causing them to flee from that which they fear
That which they don’t know
For maybe, they know something else
Something better
Better than that which they see
Better than that which they say is what they need and desire
And they look on
Search on
Beyond my chalice that remains unfulfilled
That sits barren and empty
That they all look through
In and around
But, they don’t see me
They don’t see me
