When My Friend Left the Earth (Exercise 3)

When My Friend Left The Earth

It is 7:30am in New Orleans, a Saturday
a few days after my
job training
First day of work
By 8am I am there

The library is so quiet
Barely anyone
there
the sound of
nothing

Off I go
After my shift
To take
a short nap

zzz zzz my phone alerts
Did you hear what happened, says
my friend

I am hurt, speechless, shocked
Mind frozen and stiff
Inside
I feel dead too
