Searching (Free verse) by dougsoderstrom

Searching for the answer "to an unasked question," Is like searching at night, In a dark room, For a black cat that is not there!

-=Dark_Angel=-, P.I. 12-Jul-04/5:30 PM
A man is arguing with his wife. The screams and taunts, hurled back and forth between the two, echo through through the quiet streets. Eventually the man has had enough, throws some clothes into a night-bag and storms out of the house. Just as he is about to leave, he realises he desperately needs to relieve his bowels. He goes to the outhouse. He strides in, and, still angry, slams the door behind him. Unfortunately, the force of the slam overbalances the precarious structure, and the outhouse crashes over with the man inside. After telling his wife he's never coming back, he now has no choice but to scuttle pathetically back into the house, hopelessly embrowned and covered in paper.

This is very much how I see your return.
