Waiting

Mood: Let Down

Sitting on the roof of the shed,
swinging my feet,
sipping a juice box.

Hoping someone special notices.

Usually someone sees
but not the anticipated guest.
Ignore their laugh, searching.

No one else shows.

I hop down.
Discard the empty box.
Go inside and wait.

I tell stories of my encounter.
