the glass window

sometimes people tend to stick their faces right on the glass windows, in order to catch a glimpse of something, someone - whatnot.

and when they do they get mersmerised and can't see anything else, most probably not the grime or dust that is on the glass window, for they had their eyes on the goods within the shop.

it is only when we move a couple of paces back that we may see what the shop's name is, what its unit number is. or you may have to move your eyes off the goods you're ogling at and look at the painted shopname higher above your head. either way you gotta take your eyes away from your beloved eye-candy.

then you take some more time examining whether this might be a good place to buy that something from.

all of that requires you to take that metaphorical step away.


and sometimes, that's what people need, in order to be sure.

there's no such thing as a step taken back means a step taken back; no steps may be taken ahead.
