Survivor -

One afternoon in december when it’s cold

I found myself feeling hungry and lonely

I thought i’d go up to bexley

And buy myself a sandwich

And see myself a movie

I wrapped a scarf around me

I went into the garage

Untangled my bicycle from the bicycles

Against the back wall

Outside the snow was falling

The icicles were growing

Nobody else was riding

Nobody else was walking

Or looking out their windows

Or shoveling their driveways

Or riding in their cars

The university was empty

No students throwing snowballs

Nobody was on main street

Where’s everybody gone to?

The people at the drexel?

The plaid-clad private school girls?

I think they’re all dead!
