I sit cross-legged on the edge of a fountain
waiting for 15 minutes to pass
I sit still and silent
My mom tells me to get popcorn
I wait
Then it starts to rain.
The drops fall from the darkened sky
on the glowing screen I stare at
"b there in 15"...
It's been 20
My mind starts to race as my breathing shallows
A friend tells me the movie is starting
I sit still silent
My thoughts wander down dark back alleys
What if they're in danger?
What if they're hurt?
What if-
No, I see their car pull up, 25 minutes late
I am drenched by the crying sky
They walk to me
laughing
They apologize and take me inside.
But I can't get out of the dead end alley in my mind
