Looking vs. Watching

Posted on December 28, 2012 | 2 Comments

watchtowerone is to see
the other is with expectation
– to find

one is to catch a glimpse
the other is to wait for
– to anticipate

one is to notice
the other is to store away
– to internalize as proof

one is to learn
the other is to believe
– to verify

But both can surprise.
