How to be a good secret admirer

[heslopian]

Excellent poem. Witty and profound, deftly mixing comedy with genuine pathos.

It’s quite like bird watching.
Except hopefully, without the binoculars. Is the comma needed?

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. Is this last line needed? It seems unecessary, especially "osteoporosis," which reads as though it's there simply to prove you know the word (IMHO).

Peek furtively and quickly over the paper.
This is important because
When you toss a creature crumbs, Would "a pigeon" work better? "Creature" contains two long syllables, which for me clutters the line.
You remind him of the bigger meal.
Periodically, turn the page
For authenticity's sake.

Be champion of post-it notes
On lockers and windshields;
Lord of lilacs and roses Beautiful line. So simple yet majestic and almost sensual.
In lockers and on doorsteps.
Reveal yourself one pore per day,
Exercising subtlety in every step.

Cultivate suspense-
Become like the movement of air
Behind a slamming door. Fantastic. Displaying a real gift for observation, this is the perfect simile; profound, emotional, and unique.

When the time comes
It should feel like you’re pulling yourself
From a magician’s hat-

Just be prepared
To be put back. Nice efficient finale.
