The Celebrated One

lines are homophonic or simple rhyming,   it might need a little polish, but for now I like it.  



The Celebrated One


I almost said hello
(our eyes did not meet)
I almost sat hollow
Lockets at your feet
Where with all the awed
Gathered in a heap
Wherewithal, the odd
Vanity we keep
Fallen higher
Unchecked gyres
Fall in, "Hi," or
Well, not quite

While passing on the street
I almost said hello,
But our eyes did not meet
