Life is a Dollop
By Joe Vickers
Life is a dollop,
a scoop of juice in you.
You recollect yourself in
admiration: I was a dollop,
a drop of dew,
dripping moisture on the
plant – (but) the sunshine already
peaked forgetting.
A bit of something in you – that’s
what life was. Something
fading passing. It fell off
the leaf or something.
