That Boy

 let me tell you a story
the other day i was walking
just walking & i saw this boy
walking the other way
he was wearing:
 > beat up jeans
 > flannel
 > big jacket
 > knitted beanie
 > scarf
 > big hiking boots
 > bloody nose- tissue hanging out
 > backpack on one shoulder all beat up
 > & dirt on his face
i wanted to be his friends right there
right then
i could've walked up & introduced myself
but i didn't
imagine the stories he would have to tell
& the adventures he's come across
if i see him again
I'm becoming friends with that boy
