You watch me

nature

You watch me

As I watch you

Perhaps

Nothing happens

Unless it is seen

Probability

Is just a possibility

Always leave room

For manoeuvre

Nobody is guilty

Until they are caught

Is what they say

Whilst scouring

The scene for red hand prints

As well read Herrings

Curl up

With a book

Smoking a gun

Oak trees fall silently

A philosophical digression

Until the door closes

On a room emptied

Of all but you

Thankful for the window,

Observation

Can go both ways

Without it

Does anything ever happen

How would we know?

With no one

At the peephole

Perhaps none of us

Would ever exist.
