When’s soon?

Posted on September 3, 2008 by bipolarlawyercook| 10 Comments

Wide solemn eyes,
con­tem­plat­ing the choco­late bar he’s chomp­ing on,
cross-eyed.
His tow­headed page­boy tops an over­sized
blue oshkosh hooded sweat­shirt.
As he munches his choco­late bar,
he kicks his small feet in san­dals so large
his toes are nearly invisible.

“When does the train leave?“
“Soon.”

A pause.  Another bite of chocolate.

“When’s soon?”

    Wel­come back to the inter­net. You haven’t missed much — appar­ently there’s some sort of upcom­ing elec­tion (?), but I don’t think anyone’s worked up about it.

    (I crack myself up)
