Yester-eve from skywalk steps <br />I saw a pair, dawdling <br />And then sat on the side wall <br />Down below. <br /> <br />Girl was Muslim <br />And young, covered in black <br />Fair face shining above, <br />Attractive and tall... <br /> <br />While I was watching them, <br />The man opened his mouth <br />Not to say sweet nothings, <br />But to yawn! <br /> <br />I was shocked: how can he, <br />With this young and pretty girl by his side <br />I cannot imagine myself doing it <br />I wonder what she thinks when he yawns? <br /> <br />Of course if he yawned there has to be <br />A reason for that: maybe surfeit <br />Of her presence, or worried about <br />House, money or parents. <br /> <br />The yawn did not affect her <br />As far as I could see; she was <br />Normal, not under pressure, <br />The pair had gone when I returned.<br /><br />Daniel Trevelyn Joseph<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/unusual-5/
