ACCIDENT

A distracted shopper
Dropped a can
On the store floor
Green liquid spilled
Around our feet
At first it smelled good
But then it stank
Like vomit
I sat there on my chair
Under modified duty
And I thought of negligence

ANGEL

In the night sky
It sparkles
Blinking smiles
Of friendship
I see his light
Over my house
Like a satellite

OCTOBER 24th 2005
AND A VISIT BY
AN ELDERLY GANGSTER

A suspicious
Looking fellow
Came into
My workplace
And said he was
Looking for people
Causing trouble
The ones on
The black list
He added
Then he pointed
At me and said
“Look, he’s afraid
Of being taken for a ride”
To which I replied
“Look, I am shaking
In fear”
As I moved
My arms and
My legs.
