The (Married) Man

What is it about the female, being attracted
to a man, a nice man, what
seems to be a nice man

Pulling his gaze towards yours,
even while sitting still, rigid against the chair,
staring somewhere else

Trying hard not to look up,
glance up, notice
what he’s wearing even as
you hope—somewhere—that
he notices what you’re wearing

Hoping for the notice of a (married) man
