Loud windows with quiet doors
I saw a man sitting on a
park bench by himself
and watched as he laughed
and laughed without a care
losing sight of the world and
everyone and everything
in it while the sun crossed
the sky transforming shadows
into skeletons and dancing
dogs filtering itself through
the trees and the outstretched
fingers of the branches as
loud windows with quiet
doors that never close
appeared again and again
while the strange man just
kept laughing and laughing
