List five things you do for fun.

I do not do fun

Fun

does

me

Fun is a happening

One breath

borrowing

the next

It comes

It goes

Sometimes

it waits

I lean against a lamp post

Look at my window

Once

it was there

Waiting

But by the time I reached it

evening had already signed the sky

The lamp lit

Fun looked at me

Smiled

Vanished

Fun is always running

People chase it

like there is a medal at the end of being alive

And that is fine

Me

I walk

Long enough

to forget where I was going

Then suddenly

I check the map

Where am I

That

That is my kind of fun

Second

I do not watch movies

I watch people

watching movies

The gasp

The laugh

The silence before the twist

I could watch the same film

fifty thousand times

with fifty thousand faces

Not for the story

For the ripple

I have not tried fifty thousand yet

I would like to keep my hair

Sometimes

I remember

I am not a vampire

I do not drink blood

I drink reactions

And finally

I love standing beside someone

who believes their fun

is bigger than mine

Because my fun

does not shout

It observes

It wanders

It arrives late

And leaves smiling

So

Detect five

If you can
