Night Errands





















































Unlocking my car



Beneath the streetlight,



I sensed someone looking over my shoulder.





Pumping gas



Under the neon-glow of the Racetrack,



I tried to shrug off the feeling of being watched.





Leaving Old Navy,



With Best Buy, Linens and Things, and Foot Locker



Lighting up the night sky,





I spotted my stalker.





Fat, round, yellow,



Orbiting serenely,



Silently looking out,



Over the brightness beneath.
