The Invisible Man

.

I can see right through me today;

through this empty chair and the

striped walls of this room;

through the sidewalk beneath

my window and the subway below.

I can see right through me today;

flying over chalk hills and villages,

church spires and smoking chimneys.

I can see right through me today;

to a five year old boy sitting

in the back seat of his father’s taxi.

I can see right through me today;

to a life more ordinary.

I can see right through me today.

I can see me.
