I've not forgotten about the chasing dreams|catching butterflies series, this just came to me, and well... it would not have been right to brush it off...
The Bowlegged Man in the Coffee Shop
I’m watching him Standing on bowed Legs and wondering Just how tall He must be. His pear eyes; Glazed with sadness Speak to me, Mooning me With years of Pain and I begin To feel sorrow for Him.
His head, a holding Space for movie Titles and rap songs; So conveniently attached to His long neck. He births a sigh Of rejection to Tell me he’s not Interested. And, I Become dust, blown away By an evening breeze.
