The cock and the swan
it's a pair of shoes
tucked in an
inappropriate corner or
forgetting to buy lunch meat
at the grocery store
it's a road trip with
poor directions or
none at all
careless syllables slipping
off the lips that
aren't readily retrieved
all the tiny little things
that make up
the big thing
the mystery we live
but do not bother
trying to solve
like a drunk
dinner conversation
at your parent's
place that goes
nowhere
and ends in
god
like me standing
in the doorway
communicating with lions
from a distant
planet
in the universe
that is
your
mind
doing that
then quietly
shutting the door
behind me
