in a land close by...
by Ginette T Bellea paltry troll
drinking grapefruit juice and perrier
under a broken bridge
plastic jars strewn everywhere
look, there is one floating down the river
and all day long
listening to brash footsteps above
ruffled skirts blocking pink sunsets
(haven't seen one up to this day)
feet dangling
and yes, yes, it is a jejune life
but it is a life nonetheless 08/21/2003 Posted on 08/22/2003
