MESMER

Your arms make triangles as you speak;
The muscles move and tempt my mind to watch
Instead of listening to your words.
Your voice is vibrant, gentle
And your look is introspective
As you search your mind for meanings
Which you then convey to me,
While secretly I contemplate
The inner space of triangles
Enclosed by moving arms.
