I Feel Unseen

An Invisible Man's Abecedarian

By D. J. ReddallPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

All of you are so eager to be seen!

Before that aching need makes you go mad

Consider me, a man invisible

Delighting in a voyeur's adventures

Eyes that can stare unseen at anything;

For even in this spectacle choked age

Gazes unwanted are still loathed and scorned

However, when the witness can’t be seen

It is as if the deed was never done

Just you and me, and you don’t know I’m here

Knowing that you think you know you are safe

Like an actor without an audience

Makes monitoring you most marvelous

Never suspecting that, in the shadows

One critic scoffs at your silly antics

Prance and puke and pirouette, you ponce!

Question yourself, your gods, the lousy script

Recall your many regrets and failures

Stuff my senses with all of your secrets

Tomorrow, I will visit you again

Unsatisfied, eager to watch you live

Viewing scenes you think you play in private

Watching as you relax, sigh, undress

X-rays have never glimpsed what I have seen

You have no idea what nakedness is!

Zones forbidden are familiar to me

    Deftly done! I don't want to be watched! Mind you, I'm not sure my life is interesting enough to attract a voyeur. Still, this was not nice.
