yellow 5
it's
4am
and
i
play
hopscotch
on
the
pavement
squares
to
shake
off
the
chill
in
my
toes
.
it's
so
quiet
i
imagine
hearing
the
sound
of
moonlight
hitting
the
pavement
,
bouncing
off
the
frosty
windshields
of
parked
cars
, blanketing
this
side
of
the
sleepy
world
.
i'm
antsy
there
stepping
into
the
middle
of
the
street
although
i
know
no
cars
are
coming
.
it's
safe
now
,
it's
safe
now
,
but
tension
still
remains
.
these
lanes
are
made
for
cars
, pedestrian
traffic
belongs
on
the
sidewalk
.
and
i
picture
wile
e
coyote
looking
both
ways
before
crossing
the
quiet
train
tracks
before
you
-know-what
happens
.
just
a
few
more
seconds
.
still
alive
?
yep
.
just
needed
a
moment
to
cast
out
those
demons
of
self
-doubt.
so
i
stroll
back
indoors,
and
face
the
destiny
before
me
,
the
sleep
that
hits
me
like
a
fallen
anvil
.

i'd
say
destiny
is
everywhere
...it's
harder
to
not
hit
it
then
to
hit
it
.

unhinged
we
should
have
never
went
out
tonight
the
atm
card
almost
saved
us
but
we
just
had
to
push
it
did
you
ever
get
so
angry
you
wanted
to
choke
the
life
out
of
something
? (namely
her
)
