Henry's Bundle of Rights
he found a bundle
of rights intangible
hanging like leaves
in plain sight
without a label or name
so he claimed...
it was perched like a parrot
on a poplar tree
in Central Park
left furtively
after dark
by ranger Henry III
who opened the gates daily
for the likes of...
Joe
of Public renown
who'd lost all he owned
in a Ponzi scheme
trading his golden throne
and sins
for the broken bench
and a bottle of gin...
under the shade of leaves
green like the open court
he prayed
and plotted his return
it wasn't long...
after his fall
from Chase
to the broken bench
that 1000 points of light
descended
shattering the fog over his lens
and with lasik eyes....
he saw the bundle
of rights intangible
hanging like leaves
in plain sight
with a label and name
and he claimed it as his own....
