Outside
Outside
by Edgar Rivera
Staring
into the dark of
the night I notice a stranger outside .
Under a light post shining on him like a spot light ,
from my clear window I notice he’s walking around
impatiently back and forth he goes,
waiting on something or someone , when suddenly
he takes off like the flash , then red and blue
lights barking behind him while
he rolls like a barrel
to the ground.
