The Picnic Voyeur.
   ___________

They sit laughing on
a blanket sharing a
meal..smiling at one
another in a way that
makes me Love them.
(and Hate them.)

I Love them because
I want to Be Them..
and Hate them because
I am "NOT " Them.
_

Their exchange is A
Phenomenon which exists in
all walks and cultures..
an archetype:..."The Lovers."

And there is both power
and frailty contained within
that Symbol..

The Power to Love another
more than oneself,..
but A Frailty which comes
from being dependent on
another's smile to maintain
the wellness of your being.

Oh how I love them...
and hate them..

(and want to be "THEM".)
