Half awake and half asleep,
she saw the child sitting.
Tiled floor
red ball in hand.
Did not look up
didn’t even notice her,
did not hear
did not even blink
the child’s bare focus
was on the red ball
it seemed the world was in
front of him,
it stared back
into his big eyes reflecting the redness
of the ball
what did it mean,
she did not know.
