The sun is becoming bright on the land.
No one is watching as
he comes a walking.
Two bulky suitcases hang from his hands.
He heads towards the tower
that stands in the campus.
He goes through the door, he starts up the stairs.
The sound of
his footsteps, the sound of his breathing,
The sound of the silence when no one was
there.
I didn't really know him.
He was kind of strange.
Always sort of sat
there.
He never seemed to change.
He reached the catwalk. He put done his
burden.
The four sided clock began to chime.
Seven AM, the day is beginning.
So much to
do and so little time.
He looks at the city where no one had known him.
He looks at the
sky where no one looks down.
He looks at his life and what it has shown him.
He looks for
his shadow it cannot be found.
He was such a moody child, very hard to touch.
Even as a
baby he never smiled too much. No no.No no.
You bug me, she said.
Your ugly, she
said.
Please hug me, I said.
But she just sat there
With the same flat stare
That
she saves for me alone
When I'm home.
When I'm home.
Take me home.
He laid out
the rifles, he loaded the shotgun,
He stacked up the cartridges along the wall.
He knew he
would need them for his conversation.
If it went as it he planned, then he might use them
all.
He said Listen you people I've got a question
You won't pay attention but I'll ask
anyhow.
I found a way that will get me an answer.
Been waiting to ask you 'till
now.
Right now !
Am I ?
I am a lover whose never been kissed.
Am I ?
I am a
fighter whose not made a fist.
Am I ?
If I'm alive then there's | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
