A little man sits <br />silently on a high shelf <br />watching the proceeding below. <br />From his vantage point <br />in the café he watches <br />the owners come and go. <br />He is a porcelain figure <br />who stares out at all. <br />He never smiles or frowns <br />at anything that goes on. <br />He just sits silently there. <br /> <br />19 March 2008<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/he-just-sits-silently/
