My Unknown Neighbor

he's sitting there
staring into space
as though he's looking
at another time and place.

if he really saw this
I'm unsure of what he'd do
but this place is just not beautiful
except for he and you.

he's never spoken a word to me
not a thank you not a please
but from dawn to dusk he's sitting there
his chin set on his knees.

i don't know his name
his age unknown too
he only smiles silently and--
well, what should i do?
