Thaw - unfinessed

Man with a plan
70mm from where he stands
Lens in hands

White calves sport shorts
Jacket draped on waist

Stroller is confining

A loyal friend on padded paws
Lunch and breed with drooling jaw
One chain away from freedom

Chit chat gossip in the sun
Circling bikes, no bond undone
The thaw of winter season

Enjoy a night of eating outdoors with me in Cleveland.

There wasn't someone to talk to, because there wasn't something that I knew to talk about. I believed I was alone…and at the time I was. Feeling isolated in this way could have set me off in many negative directions.
