l'li K 1' i LIKE A MANNEQUIN Like a mannequin he sits as if there were no life. His still expressionless face with dark cir- cles surrounding his eyes, denotes his many restless nights. In the distance you hear a radio playing low, but being muffled by equip- ment and blowers. He sits, staring at a cal- endar as though counting the days, as one might count seconds going by on a clock. His eyes seem to flip through the months in an attempt to speed up time. Without breaking concentration he drinks from a can. His eyes appear cold and dark, like frozen lakes of blue water. As you look deeper, it is as if you can look into his bodily shell, only to find a cold empty void. Finally breaking his eyes from the calendar, he stares at a picture of a beautiful brown haired woman, and a cute little girl. As you look closer you see a resemblance in the face of the little girl and the man in front of you. Again looking at the man, you see pain and tears overcome his face as if someone was twisting a sword through his heart and soul.
