i take a step
i see a little flicker out the corner of my eye.
i nochalantly take another step,
flickers dont bother me, i say to myself.
i see it again.
i bravely take another step
breathing in
breathing out.
the flicker flickers again.
i stop.
i turn around.
there is nothing there.
i take a step
i see a little flicker out the corner of my eye.
and a little glow.
i whirl, ready to confront
whoever it is
only to find there is noone there
only to find my shadow
trailing silently behind me.
where she should be.
i take a step
i see another little flicker out the corner of my eye.
i stop.
i turn.
now there are two shadows.
how odd.
as i watch, they multiply
three shadows,
four.
like badly loaded super8
they flicker and waver and continue to grow.
five.
six.
i stand.
i stare
at the puddle of blue shadows at my feet
following me around
always going
where i have already been.
what do you want from me?
