I FELL LIKE A BRICK - today's poem

 

I FELL LIKE A BRICK

I FELL LIKE A BRICK         

                          FROM THE PODIUM

                          THE GANGWAY 

                          THE ESCALATOR

                          THE OLD WATER TOWER

                          THE BLEACHERS

                          THE BRIDGE

 IN RAPID DESCENSION

                          NOT EVEN SPINNING

                          THINKING DEEPLY

                          SMOKING

                          RATIONALIZING MY FEARS

                          GRINNING

                          PROTESTING NOR SHOUTING

THE WIND WAS EVER WHISTLING

                          THROUGH MY SHIRT SLEEVES

                          MY FINGERS

                          MY OPEN WINDOW

                          MY PASSPORT LANYARD

                          MY HEAD OF HAIR

                          MY INNERMOST THOUGHTS

I FELL LIKE A BRICK AND HAVE NOT STOPPED FALLING EVER SINCE
