CHANGE OF VIEW

who am i?
who do you see?
when you pass by the room
do you look inside for me?
do you intend to see me?
or is it coincidence of a chance glance
i look but what do i see?
curiosity
but... is it curiosity?
or did curiosity kill the cat this time
i become one with the surroundings
a blur to your passing eye
a blend of colours
why look if only do we look for a change of view
change of environment and atmosphere
passing eyes never to meet
passing eyes that need
a change of view
