inside this public
square
where there are 14
people
standing /idly
quietly
slipping in and out
of array
sets
/geometrical
significance

is settled
only in askance
appraisals
a sense of
temporality
tripped up
on the final
misaligned
step

quietly before
the public
sphere
detects
your presence

in the 14
becoming self-
aware
loosing their touch
with idleness
and
instead groping
towards
the
ugly
finale
/geometric
certainties
