A Funny Picture For Your Story

August 28







Do you know about him 
The little tall man
Living in the brown street 
His lips are hard 
Like where charcoal is made 
He feels high more than alcohol 
And always scorn his wild hair

Do you know about the natural leaf 
That scorned him 
For the first time 
He feels his lips 
With a sedative herb 
And forms a circle in his skin 

There are dirts 
Waiting to be heaped away 
He picks them up by chance 
Along with a clipper 
He moves with the cloud 
Seeing double shadows on the way 
Laughing at him 

Finally at a waste bin spot 
The dirts are abandoned 
He picks up the clipper 
This is the best place for hair cut 
He sits loving the moment 
While passersby share laughters
