Mr. Blue
by Nancy AmesHe`s standing in a phone booth,
in a phone booth in the rain...
he could be finding out the truth
or trying to catch a train.
I`ve seen him somewhere before,
it`s like he gets up every day
and wonders what the sun is for
and when it will go away.
He tells us he`s just awful shy,
with his concentrated frown,
but he only ever likes the sky
when it`s falling, falling down. 02/04/2018

And now I am left again with my mind wandering through names and faces of my family of origin to see if they too are into the falling all about us/them. Thanks so much Nancy. |
