i am, YOU AREN'T

IX

i wondered why
but i just went upstairs and go to my room
later on, i fell asleep
morning came
i saw everyone at the dining table
except for father
they seemed so quiet
their eyes were dim
“mom where’s dad?”, i asked
mom didn’t answer
i wonder why
then i just head to school
i rode a bus
earphones on
listening to some pop rock bands
there’s a vacant seat beside me
the bus stopped
a person went inside
it’s the girl from before
and she sat down beside me
