things that happened on my way home.

i walked home tonight.
i arrived home at 1.00am
the time is now 1.09am.
here is what happened on my walk.


i exited the apartment building through the front door.
i walked one way, thinking that it would take me home and then stopped.
i looked the other way and decided the other way was the way which would lead to my home.
i walked until i heard the beach then turned left.
i walked up a bit, till i came to a corner i didn't recognise, then turned right, just to turn left again.
as i walked down Wiora st i saw a figure walking towards me on my side of the street.
the figure moved slowly and i could tell it was a boy with deadlocks because of the way the light lit him from behind.
i saw he was staggering and moving more side to side than he was forwards.

as i approached him i saw he was about the same height as me.
he staggered side to side, forward. Side to side, forward.
as i passed him, feeling superior in my strictly forward motion, i whispered ' everything will be okay'.
he stopped.
i kept walking, passed another pedestrian, then looked back.
he was still stopped.
i kept walking and two police cars wizzed past, down Wiora, right onto Blair.
i looked back and the boy with the dreadlocks was still standing there.

for a second i throught about going back to make sure he was okay - but before i knew it i was home.

i'm sure he started moving again, and went back to where he lived, and sat down and thought about what just happened.
i'm sure that when he did, he would have realized that everything really would be okay.

or maybe he's still standing there.
who knows.
