(Leon Rosselson)
Nobody looking at me
He puts his spoon in the sugar and the sugar in the tea
And he unfolds his paper methodically
And he stirs the tea
And he sips the tea
Without looking at me
He sips his tea without looking at me
With an automatic gesture he taops his knee
And he looks at his watch mechanically
And he smiles at me
Absentmindedly
Without looking at me
He smiles at me without looking at me
And his smile is as heavy as gravity
And it falls on the table and the cups of tea
And inevitably
He kisses me
Without looking at me
Without looking at me, without looking at me
Alone with my invisibility
And the tablecloth stained and staring at me
And the sugar bowl floating in an empty sea
And an empty cup where my heart ought to be
And nobody
Nobody
Looking at me
(as sung by Val Bailey)
