"Opposite Seat"

Headphones plugged in
Your thoughts
A million miles away.
Like mine.
Even though we are
Just a yard apart.
Upside down badge
Telling me
You were a 'visitor'
Dangles down from your neck.
If only I could check
What is dangling
Six inches lower.
If I were telepathic
And you were gay
Perhaps you could
Just tease me
And meet me half way.
Go on...just a little.
Tantalise and flirt
Undo just one more button
Down the front of your shirt.
You know you want to....
