LEO WOKE UP IN HIS BED AGAIN

STARTLED BY ALL HIS FAMILIAR FRIENDS

BURNT OUT STUBS CONFECTIONARY WRAPPERS BOTTLES SPENT AND EMPTY

LEO FELT A TERROR IN THE WORLD



HE SIGHS IT'S NOT SO BAD

AND GOES ABOUT HIS DAY AS IF NOTHINGS CHANGED



HE FINDS IT SO HARD TO EXPLAIN THE WAY HE CAN'T COMMUNICATE

THE FEELING'S THERE BUT HE CAN'T SAY WHY IT'S SO HARD TO RELATE TO YOU OR ANYONE



LEO QUICKENED HIS STEP TOWARD HIS CAR

HE BROKE INTO A SPRINT AT TWENTY YARDS

AS HE GUESSED THE DOGS HAD COME RIPPING INTO HIS ARM FOR FUN

LEO GOT AWAY IN HIS BLUE CAR
