Poems
Oct 2010
Long White Coat
Marching through
Painted streets
Closing in on the prize
Stopping short
Off the pavement
With white bleached spools
Off the thread
A long white coat
Lay on the grass
Its ignorance
To its misplacement
As its sleeves pick up
A small breeze
Every person scatters by
Except the little girl
She looks in awe
Seeing something that
Adults can't truly understand
Her mothers hand clasped between
Her miniature fingers
She is pulled along
Away from that coat
That she can't seem to comprehend
Maybe it's the pure randomness
Or it stranded frays
But the girl somehow knows
It's inevitable ways
As she walks quickly away
Her mother pulling her along
She smiles with her young delight
Giving words,a story,a past
To a long white coat
To a random placement
To a meaningless experience
To just another day
