People's Indifference

people who pass
by the house

always stop a while
taking time

to look at the window
which is closed
the whole day

the stairs still have
dry leaves

at the back of the house
a boy is screaming

the fence is closed
and a white dog is yelping

wanting to go inside
as people pass by the house

stop a while take time to
have a glimpse

and then leave
doing nothing about it
