Leo

Failure

Leo woke up in his bed again


Startled by all his familiar friends


Burnt out stubs confectionary wrappers bottles spent and empty


Leo felt a terror in the world





He sighs it's not so bad


And goes about his day as if nothings changed





He finds it so hard to explain the way he can't communicate


The feeling's there but he can't say why it's so hard to relate to you or anyone





Leo quickened his step toward his car


He broke into a sprint at twenty yards


As he guessed the dogs had come ripping into his arm for fun


Leo got away in his blue car
