Escape

Growing up is sometimes sovery hard. When a parent and a young adult don't see eye to eye something has to give.


                                   


                                     Escape


Brown paper bags sitting in a corner
There's a knock at the front door
Silence is broken by the crunching of the bags
There's the creaking of the stairs
The front door quietly shuts
The non-terminating silence persists.
