← Gone Away
A Poem (I think)
Mad objects to my putting poetry in this blog but, when it's all you've got, what can you do? This is a little thing I wrote years ago when I was still hitchhiking in Africa. I have had to drag the depths of my memory for it and the second line is a substitute as I just can't recall the the original. It was something like that anyway.
Hitchhiker's Moon
Zap!
Cold moonlight breaks
Through garage lavatory window.
Wonders weary bum
Asleep in the pissoir of Pietersburg:
Were you there?
Vague shadow glimpse
Did you piss and go
In the bright headlamp hand
Of night?
