benign judgement

our eyes fall onto 
others
with benign judgement.
one looks well,
the other doesn't.
the gain of weight.
a missing ring,
that harried look of
overworking,
of staying
up late with drink.
unshaven
unkempt.
the mismatch of clothes.
the grey parted roots,
we take note,
but say nothing,
for there is our own
selves to contend with.
