Why
did he follow so close? Was
he in a hurry? He
couldn’t have been because,
I was walking slow and
each of my leisurely, long strides
were followed by a squeak
of his tennis shoes
The
man didn’t try to pass, in
fact I don’t think he even knew
I was there His
headphones were buried
deep into his ear
drum, where natural
sound didn’t exist
As I
mentioned, I wasn’t in a
hurry but just trying to
enjoy the air His
mannerisms destroyed that
for me
I
was fixated on him going
away be he didn’t and
continued to follow © 2015 Shawn Hatfield |
