You missed the bus.


By night, the seas have receded.

The sky is dim. The houses are lit.

Dawn presses the yesterday sky

beneath its unruly presence. The sun

lifts itself like a magician, carrying

its bright, orange orb with a gentle,

seamless glow. Driving back into

the neighborhood, I see neighbors

come and go. I see their children step

outside and play with each other,

noises of glee, noises of bliss. Then,

I see the strays roaming along the street.

They live, just like the rest, under the

sun, ushered by time. A mellow breeze

flows through the July neighborhood.

A thought of ice cream runs through

my head. But, will this feeling ever

come again? When all that is left is

my room and my bed. But, will I ever

enjoy my childhood again? When all

that is left is a path closer to the end.

It is almost summer. The breeze, smiles, and freedom have all returned.
