What is contained in a glance,
That fleeting connection of eyes?
A glance can speak all languages,
Conveys a dictionary\'s worth of words,
Bestows acknowledgement on another,
Can show one respect, or disdain,
Establishes a connection with like-kind,
A feeling both instantly comprehend,
Lets another person know at once if
This one dare be trifled with,
Are they open to a friendly exchange,
Or might prefer to be left alone.
A lengthy conversation without words
Does a simple glance contain.
