What are we looking at?
The clouds.
There's not a damn cloud in the sky!
True, but you're still here, aren't you?
Yeah, I suppose.
Hey, you still doing that writing thing?
Trying to, most days I can't figure out what pens I want to use. Words are harder to find the more you look for them.
Oh .
How 'bout you? You still doing that football thing?
No. It messed me up too much, you know? Couldn't take it anymore, picked myself over my parents for once.
Finally .
I know. Hey, I can give you something to write about.
Yeah? What is it?
This. The privilege we have that lets us lay here, watching the clouds.
I thought there wasn't any clouds.
No, but for some reason, we're here anyway. And if it were a year ago, I'd be on the football field instead.
Seems we finally let ourselves go, haven't we?
Is it such a bad thing?
