Got & Lost - A Poem
Got & Lost
Bird dropping
on his head
under the tree
where he stood
smoking-
a girl passing
gave an old paper
which he glanced at_
First line
and some words
from different lines
with explosive trigger
for a poem
caught attention_
pausing for a split second...
he used the paper
to wipe the shit
off his head
and threw it
off in the gutter:
trying
to recollect
the lost trigger
he scratched his head-
a little bit
of the remains
adamant and sticky
came off his fingers
eyes about
the girl nolonger seen.
