![]() The CompassA Poem by James S![]() I tried to write about how everything becomes obsolete, but it didn't come out right.![]()
The orange compass, having never been used for its intended purpose, lies in anticipation.
The rooster is passed over by the clock. Becoming a simple pet, it grows fat. The broken edge points to a tear in the map of three galaxies. The typewriter breaths its last breath. The floppy disk hardens. Newspapers pile up inside a large house I used to walk by as a child. The train screams a loud, metallic, groan as it screeches by an old, dilapidated mansion outside Lancaster, Missouri. All hope seems lost. There is a place for everything in the graveyard. Life begins anew. I am wearing my watch. Anything can be a paperweight, except they are now obsolete too. When will humans be replaced? © 2015 James SAuthor's Note
