How to be a good secret admirer

[billy]

It’s quite like bird watching. [normally i'd ask is 'quite' needed but i think it is here]
Except hopefully, without the binoculars. ['except' feels clunky]

You must master the art
Of appearing occupied in parks.
Perhaps open a newspaper on a bench
And pretend to read an article
About osteoporosis. [i love this line, it's inane and funny]

Peek furtively and quickly over the paper. [something more solid like 'headlines' instead of 'paper']
This is important because
When you toss a creature crumbs, [feels like it need more to make this and the next line work]
You remind him of the bigger meal.
Periodically, turn the page
For authenticity's sake. [great close again]

Be champion of post-it notes
On lockers and windshields;
Lord of lilacs and roses
In lockers and on doorsteps. ['lockers' the reiteration feels wrong]
Reveal yourself one pore per day, [love this line]
Exercising subtlety in every step.

Cultivate suspense-
Become like the movement of air
Behind a slamming door.

When the time comes
It should feel like you’re pulling yourself
From a magician’s hat- [two great triolets}

Just be prepared
To be put back.[for me the last couplet doesn't work]

i really do like this one. it's light and airy
farcical in a mister beanish sort but a little more up market.
it flows easily off the tongue and has originality.
doesn't need much of an edit to make it shine. (all jmo)
thanks for the read lawrence
