I’m caught in the red rimmed frames
of a passerby
a century nonplussed ago
I'm here on page twenty three
of a carefully calculated (sum= pie / eat)
short story
page 24 carries with it the un
               bro
ken binding of destiny
carefully put together by a manufactured hand
this is my perception
for you it carries dust
an old way of thinking
or could it be (to cover all the bases)
maybe something new
(something blue something out of context
will often due)
a new age
a new definition for a
tired and cranky backward
adage allegory ah ah ah ah!
(stick out your tongue) this won’t hurt)) a bit
still though I am caught there
and you can’t type Me without a lowercase
me me you also can’t type me twice
why am I caught t here
well in part icular
YOU (acronym I assume)
saw something interesting on TV (an easy 6 step process to clean up pie?)
and let the page turn to 24 (yd. t.fxrape co xprt.b jann Mcjproruy!)

This poem is unfinished due to computer problems

Who has the heart to erase anything?

you read on to page 25 (reading with a lack of bewilderment)
wherein I fell into the street and was trampled by a horse
dying a typical tragical death
oh how I’m tired of standing on
this corner looking both ways to cross!

Well, Good Buddy, you've accomplished your title, me thinks.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
