You think I don’t matter
sitting there waiting for the bells,
on your sculpted piece of art
from bicameral indifference.
Smirking at the rabble
all huff and puff to you,
fighting over cast off chips
just an outcast hop step and jump.
Destined to a slow decline
injured beyond repair,
but it’s called the beady eye for a reason
this jerky parade of slightly turned head.
Just see what happens
when I squawk and take off,
a white canvas of squabble will rise
enough to block out your sun.
Ha. What a beauty, James!
ReplyDeleteFab poem James :) PS I keep wondering what happened to the other leg!
ReplyDeleteI wonder that too, in a group of them there always seems to be one that has only one leg! Sharks?
