this side of town

A man and woman,
drunk,
arguing by the roadside,
while the vast world
continues around them,
unconcerned.
I’m like a baby squirrel
in a tree with limbs down,
watching nosy neighbors,
dreaming of escape—
somewhere nearby,
yet still in that big, wide world.

I won't fall!
Watch me as I land.
