Burden of Beauty

It seemed everyone
Was watching.

It seemed the line formed
to get closer
To her.

She kept her head down,
Making change,
Watching her computer.

She never looked up,
She knew they watched,
And her demeanor
Never changed.

First one man,
Then another,
Watched and waited.

The other bank tellers
Kept pleading, “Over here
Sir, I can help
You now."

But the men watched
And waited, inching
Toward her cubicle,
Their eyes exploring every
Bit of her.
