Wishing on Stars I Can't See

Tonight the world is full
of people on porches
whiling the night away.
They smile and wave
but the weight
of conversation
pulls them right past
a hello.
I am sliding by streets
that go
nowhere,
watching the sun set
alone.
There is so
much
I would could should
be doing, but instead
I am only wandering -
passing by porches
and wondering.

this is how i feel tonight...only instead of wanting to be on the porch i want to LIGHT IT ON FIRE.

but yes, good imagery. makes me feel sad and longing and all of that.
