THIS EVER HAPPEN TO YOU?

THIS EVER HAPPEN TO YOU?

A Poem by Glen Fitch
"

From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. "FIRE AND ICE" by Robert Frost

"

       

          

    You're trodding on your track
        from day to day
    when suddenly
        you see a trick of light,
        a twirl of water,
        gush of wind,
        a play of shadows,
        sizzling stars at night.
    Perhaps
        a phrase of music pierces you,
        a cookie's taste
            pulls moments from the past,
        a detail in a painting
            strikes you new.
    Just so a flash provoked
        me fading fast.
    One day,
    at school,
    some class,
    a film:
         "THE BLIND."
            (At that some moron slurred
                 "Another 'tard!")
    A woman reading braille
        another signed.
     "Some say the earth will end in fire..."
        Off guard,
        Surprised by joy!
        By me as well!
            I forgot (had been so long)
            the first tears spurt out hot.

A word is a wager in thought. Every one I pick is a bet that it will mean to you what it means to me. That is at least today, relevant to my race, class, gender and community. The fine print in my poe.. more..
