I Ran By This House Yesterday

All I do is keep on running in my own cozy, homemade void, my own nostalgic silence. 

And this is a pretty wonderful thing.  No matter what anybody else says. ― Haruki Murakami

 

I ran by this house yesterday

and faded vinyl siding spoke to me.

You call that running?

 

When inanimate objects make fun of you,

the smart move,

find a seat in the shade.

 

I kept going.

That house’s opinion of me

is none of my business.
