Poetry

dreary evening falls on the block

where the careworn gal lies on her couch

in front of a blinking screen she's bored

when a shadow quickly flies outside

first she thought it's nothing special

her eyes so tired, not interested

but second shadow missed the window

and Laura stood in the room in fuss

neighborhood was quiet and bleak

wind in the streets once strong once weak

when again, right past her window

a shadow of a man flew down

all of a sudden, all hell broke loose

men and women, boys and girls

writhing and kicking through the air

just a few seconds, down to the ground

frail and confused she opened the window

bodies still hitting the dead lawn below

crawled on the windowsill, for a better look

she lost her balance - quick joined the show
