The lady chose deliberately not
To look me in the eye, acknowledge me
Or otherwise express a single jot
Of anything - but I could tell that she
Knew what she did, and chose it, rather than
Not having seen me. No, she turned away
With that close-studied blankness which I can
Decipher easily is meant to say
Nothing at all, and mean that nothing too.
The lack of eye contact - not quite avoided
But rather simply vacant - says she knew
What she was doing, and she had steroided
Her slight indifference to make it giant;
Unwilling to admit it, but defiant.
