The Looks of It

 He looks tired.

        Sleepy.

        Exhausted.

        And tired as in sick and tired.

He doesn't look inspired,

                                excited,

                                    not even curious,

            as he tells me about their new action plan

                that I am finding inspiring,

                                                    exciting,

                                                        and smart.

Suddenly I become aware

        of how I talk about my own politics,

        and how sleepy

                            exhausted

                                and sick and tired

                I look

                    most of the times.

The sun is setting outside.

I leave the venue to catch some air

    I look at the grayish-blue sky.

  It's not dark yet, nor is it daytime anymore.
