Alone, not alone

A huge hammock, lazily swinging in the sun
One leg with toenails painted seafoam green,
hanging out of it, adorned with a silver anklet
that the light that keeps bouncing and flaring on...

A drink on the small table on the side
moisture condensing on cold glass
A colorful straw dipping into
a colorless liquid, half-filled with ice...

Smell of jasmine and a hint of aftershave
A light breeze to carry all away
sounds of the city, low, muffled
and a faint buzz of an adventurous bumblebee...

It's summer on the rooftop terrace
A moment frozen in time
I'm sleeping, day-dreaming, escaping,
To a reality that is only slightly different
                                               from my own...
