1.
The bark of this tree is harsh
I think
I smile
enjoying the cool roughness
against my porcelain skin
2.
I can almost hug it
while
blinking my eyelashes and
rooting out a sanctuary with my toes
3.
I hear some girl laughing in the wind and
I think about you guys
4.
Rustled leaves scatter
and lighters click somewhere off to my left
5.
I sneak a mischeivous glance
and catch some shadows
but i cant really see anything
6.
I wonder if they can hear me over here
leaning against this tree?
Hold on
What number was i on?
7.
I think I forgot why I'm supposed to be waiting here
counting
I read
just my ponytail
8.
Its kinda chilly
I pull my hoodie sleeves over my wrists
Look around
There's an opening in the trees over there i think
9.
I glance down at my sneakers and twist the rings on my fingers
10.
Fuck this!
I concentrate on the crunch of the leaves under my feet
I hear a lighter click closer to my left and
some faint laughter
I get a twinge of a smile on my face
and wonder whats so fucking funny
