after school
a cement road
divides 
separate sets of trees 
and
a stream.

right down the middle
i walk
thoughts drift off
disorderly
unimportant really
there is nothing
but the buzz of crickets
to disrupt me.

the leaves look like paint
the world feels like a movie
it's outstanding.

i feel unreal
improbable
exhilarated
annihilated.

i feel caught
inside a 
rainbow bubble
set in motion 
by the breath
of a
young dreamer
unscathed
by the
cement midway.
