The Parallax Of A Cold Winter's Morning"
She walk's through the sun kissed park
Braving the winter air
Not a care in the world
Through endless voids
And Infinite mazes
They act as paths
Through the due ridden
Grass of a brand new day.
She spies with her little eye
A falling Leaf
Beautiful in its simplicity
It falls to the ground
With little effect
She picks up the orphaned stalk
examining it
Squinting at its alien form
It looks familiar
But she cant quite place it.
She has no idea what a Leaf is.
She continues her journey
Through endless paths
Becoming one with gravity
Moving ever so fast
Answering questions
Under her breath
That were never asked.
She chances upon a group
Chain smoking
dole scroungers
standing by the abandoned
park cafe.
She greets them
Its just what she does.
The lads laugh
They begin to
point and stare
Imitate and discriminate.
In unison They begin to pelt
rocks at this "strange" person
standing before them.
She doesn't flinch
she has no concept
of what is taking place
She has no concept of
electric signals traveling
to her brain
Or the cruel names
And foul language
Being hurled in her direction.
She becomes confused
what is this feeling?
A stray stone
impacts on the side of her head.
She starts to bleed
But she has no concept
Of blood or pain
Caused by damaged flesh.
She becomes scared
She begins to growl
Louder and louder
Passers by
Stop and stare
And update there
Facebook status
Concerning the strange Growling
Girl in the park
But she's not "Growling"
She's screaming in pain,
Pain caused by a uncaring society
who fear and persecute
what they do not understand.
Viewed from A different line of sight
She becomes a parallax of a
cold winter morning.
She hobbles away
Down a nearby path,
She turns to see another Leaf
fall from a nearby tree
It seems familiar
But she has no idea what a Leaf is.
Braving the winter air
Not a care in the world
