A LOT OF STUFF
While waiting for my dog to do
his doing - next to an old bathtub -
I stood there leash in hand - at
the edge of an empty lot with a lot
of stuff dumped into
me. It was the
eyesore of our street. Broken toys
and broken boom boxes - an old
abandoned - no seats left - Volkswagen
Bug - and a lot of other stuff - magazines -
a mattress - plastic bags - garbage -
but then I focused on a stone - a
clean faced - no acne on it - just
sitting there - a solid one piece stone -
laughing at me. And I heard it saying,
“I last! Keep your eye on what lasts.”
