This is in response to Kenny Penn's Haikuplet challenge. Please find the requirements for participation here. In this age of instant gratification and absolute busyness, we need peace and unity more than ever. When voices keep ringing in our heads, that can be difficult to come by.

I First Saw Him
When I first saw him sitting on the wall, relaxed and looking out over the water, I was sure he wasn't a local. Not including children, there are only about 250 or 300 of us in this area full-time, though that number is ten-fold in the summer, and I know everyone at least by sight or by family resemblance. And yet, the way he sat looked familiar and started my mind sorting and discarding among the families I knew, not quite like this one, not quite like that one.
