Solitude in Night
The streetlight caught the falling snow
giving the dark a dream-like ambiance
the flakes kissed the ground and were consumed
though fatigued, they cast a shy glow
on such a crisp perfect night
my companion chafed
their footsteps abused the soft white ground
their presence was a ghastly sight
I wanted to ponder the universe
an activity best done alone
but alone is something we never are
and with time it will only get worse
so we contemplated nothing
passing the same house again and again
“colony of parasites” I thought
that is the cynicism nighttime can bring
I am up, and everyone else is down
that is what conjures my superiority
I alone walk the streets at night
watching the snow cover the town
