Abstruse (107 of 365)

Day 107 of the 365 day poem challenge.

Word of the day abstruse: "Abstruse things are difficult to understand because they are so deep and intellectually challenging. It might be hard to figure out how a toilet flushes but the technology that goes into making the Internet function is abstruse."

Abstruse 

I peered at her like I would an 
Andy Warhol
So transparently poised 
Books will be written 
Which may get close to that
Singularity 

There was a wicked Mona Lisa curl of her lips 
There was androgyny
In her outfit the denim jeans 
And the bowl of her hat 

I paused and thought at the nature
Of things and stared at 
Our images between tall columns 
The passing shadows 
Became an impressionist canvas
Of wailing Spring colours 

There we were indecipherable
I wanted to scream out 
Like black splattered upon a canvas
There was such a pleasant rose garden void between the two of us

But strangers were all we were
And would ever be.
