Cold watermelon on a sunny afternoon

Cold watermelon on a sunny afternoon
realizing my words can be twisted and misunderstood i set out to do something new and something out of the way;
standing in the balcony, watching the people scamper in to the shopping mall, i grew restless and tired;
twenty three days in june the heat and the cloudless sky, summer sun shining brightly;
biting into the cold watermelon, i stood watching the wave of human blobs appearing and disappearing like a firefly in the night sky;
as the clown with the big red nose came near the kid with the icecream cone, the giggles and smile resonated through out the place;
seeking answers to questions, gathering my thoughts, i sat down to enjoy the cold watermelon and concluded my research on life;
i have done the research, here's what i deduce, it seems i have no inspiration, yet, i find something from nothing, and nothing is what i have done,;
on a sunny june afternoon, the glass of cold watermelon juice i had in my hand is now empty and i slowly make my way back and continue what i was doing - nothing;
