Liza - Atmosphere


Atmosphere
It’s that Friday again
Coffee and caffeine, open eyes – ready
Ready to grab ready to push ready to pull
Here comes the stampede
Wild animals looking for their pray in gray, red and green
Size small and medium and large
Confusion on the floor
“Clean up on aisle 4!”
Blood, death…
Darkness defeated by the not so much descending son
So early--what time is it?
TURKEY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Liza, age 16
