15 April 2012

I sit here alone. Propped up against the tan paneled house, sitting on the wood deck with brown, chipping paint. The deck is split between light and shade. I sit in the shade. Light is so close yet so far away. The sun tries to peer out from the cloudy sky. A bit of warmth... Then shivers run through my body and head as the bitter cold wind blows me down. I hear a distant chatter in my driveway. I hear a saw from afar. A bang; something had been dropped. While I just sit here unseen. Unheard. I am hidden from them. I hear them talk; about me, about family, about sports, about almost everything. . . . I've been spotted.

I run.

I'm lost.

And I'm alone again...
