As A Footnote, Succinctly

by Joe Cramer

She moves softly, quickly, quietly

Through the pages of my life.

Ending up as a footnote, succinctly

While I still wonder what's right.

Poets are still all bent over a word

In the blank coffee houses of the world

And these same thoughts are all still unheard

As the last pages are yet to be unfurled.

She remains inconsequential to me,

I watch her in the corners of my eye.

Just a brief moment of time, my frivolity.

This life still left us, always wondering why.

It's funny, the way some encounters, even if just in thought, end up affecting us. This has an air of mystery about it that makes me wonder if it was live or memorex...I like it.
