Peculiar Situations
MJ got out again tonight.
My dad and brother take off in one direction on the long boards;
I walk in the other
And you find yourself in the most peculiar situations.
Here I am, my feet plopping down the middle of the street,
wearing my slippers and Pooh Bear sweatshirt, clicking my tongue every few steps.
7 billion people in the world and I find myself alone.
And the air is still and silent: it holds a faint chill. Enough to kiss my ears
But not enough to break through fabric.
I expected a dark night
But the full moon shines enough to brighten the thick sky.
And dogs echo here and there.
Still alone, fear is a thin film in my mind that doesn't quite take its effect
because my curiosity is too overwhelming.
And my shadow is my only escort
like a black slenderman sliding along the houses.
A world full of people and I'm here alone.
And stars dangle like earings
for the necklace of a moon.
And you find yourself in the most peculiar situations.
