Beside the Point

I drew an exclamation point in the air

I watched it float around

It moved with the people

The wind

The noise of the city

 

I saw the exclamation point

Just floating

And so I decided

To turn it

Into

A poem

 

Not so different from this one

Was the poem

 

I picked up a pen

And wrote

And wrote

And wrote

In the air

 

And you saw

Me writing

My poem

 

And you saw

The exclamation point

Floating

Towards you

 

You said

Tell me what you know

And I told you

About the poem

And the exclamation point

 

And you smiled

And held out your hand

And I put a pen in it

 

And we wrote in the air

Beside the point

 

Punctuation floating round our heads.
