The Portrait of Matteo
Seventeen-year-old Manny got off a public bus at a busy intersection in downtown Philadelphia. When the bus released its brakes and passed his narrow view, he checked whether the art museum across the street was still there. He had been visiting it every day that week but wondered for a second the veracity of its presence. Now, the spring sun betrayed its gray highlights, giving it a warm glow.

I am glad I don’t experience this emotion. I did once, though, and it’s quite destructive. You did a good job in this Haiku.
Jealousy....such a *** this poem describes it well.
This was sooooo relatable! I freaking loved it!
