When You Return Home Late From Work #1

~ Frank Solanki ~ 5 Comments



When did I first call you?
Five
What did you tell me then?
I’ll be home in an hour

When did I call you next?
Six
Where were you then?
In office
What did you tell me then?
I’ll be home in an hour

When did I call you next?
Seven
Where were you then?
In office
What did you tell me then?
I’m just closing for the day

When did I call you next?
Nine
What did you do?
I didn’t pick up
Where were you then?
In office

What time is it now?
(You gulp and a drop of sweat trickles down your forehead)

a not-poem cares little
about enjambment
metre/speling
& worse = punctuality

we have a chameleon
living in places
a chameleon shouldn’t live

in a garden
watching
the flowers wilt
fall
root
rise

it just woke up one day and decided to become a flower

bees come for honey
the chameleon smiles
~ and feeds on them

as relatable as an ‘i do’
as short as a haiku
as deceitful as a magic trick
as shallow as a limerick
as stupefying as the universe
as ill-structured as a free verse
as convenient as an abbreviation
as useless as a quotation
