BEING DEAD, YOU?

What's up?
I'll tell you
'what's up'.

The moon glistens high above,
blocked from tree limbs
as I peer though my window
late at night
while staring
at a blank, white screen.

The tv set is on,
turned down so not to disturb
the sleeping family upstairs.

My drinking glass, decorated with
pretty, white ducks,
is empty,
no more water
inside.

I sit alone in my chair,
absorbed in my
selfish
thoughts,
thinking how it could be
better.

The street light
flickers,
goes off for a moment,
and stays off.

story of a boy's life.

staring at a computer screen.
