odd, but okay
there's a window in my room
through it I see my neighbor
and he's got an old dog
and they read together on the porch
and sometimes he cries
which is odd, but okay
in the produce department
I see a little girl who runs around giggling
and she whispers to no one
and she hides behind her curls
and her mom just smiles
which is odd, but okay
when I eat lunch at school
there's a boy who sits near me
and he sits quietly and eats
and his sister talks to him on the phone
and sometimes he plays with legos
which is odd, but okay
behind these words
sits a young girl
and she reads on friday nights
and she gets lost in her head
and sometimes she observes, not lives
which is odd, but okay
