Giving a Shit
She laughed from a distance
Up close, she was actually crying
Close up, she had something in her eye
At a distance she definitely winked at me
From a distance she smiled a sexy smile
Up close she was wincing in pain
From a distance she laughed a real belly laugh
Up close she was simply screaming
From a distance she swooned as she always did
Up close she’d dropped down dead
From a distance she looked just fine to me
Up close she was broken hearted
From a distance is usually the best policy
Up close I would have had to give a shit

I think that was the mantra of the man in the poem - the closer you get, the more you feel, the greater the danger you're going to get hurt :-(
thank you for reading and commenting :-)

Depends on the glasses you wear. Nice perspectives. I liked the back and forth comparisons. I felt like I was walking closer and then stepping back. Cool read.
