until the storm hit
then every piece of "unwanted" floated to the
surface
hitting our feet
lingering between our toes
but the boy once had a touch of destiny about him
part of me cares less
my young self could live in a mobile home
if it had windows and a grand piano
he laughed at art
but i will give him the chance
his thought has not crawled
under my skin
and that worries me
for him
for her
for me--the afterthought
but the trash has floated up from the surface
leaving takes time
