Homeless soon
The things I could move myself to
speak about - they were the passion
of a moment, an unforgiven passing
we can't expect to have learned
anything about each other,
if this is the goal of Encounter
with stranger it's double dare-
triple catapult over a handshake,
brush off a bullet
that's why lady bugs crowd 'round my toe
okay okay it's not my toe,
stump growing into the plain
altogether I'm just
a pitiful stab at a tree
shot down in sapling stage
drug down by my weave.
Daylight would enhance those fragments just so.
