Kurt Ravidas Poet Verse

The Collector

My life is full of sense:
I have a big collection of 
fridge magnets, calendars and hotel slippers

which my friends bring me from
their trips. I have the rare stamp
I found on the street. I have the flippers

I bought off a church sale.
Alas, I can't swim... Luckily, I
have neither wife, nor kids in my collection.

When I feel sad, I don’t
need to lock myself in the bathroom for crying in
the company of my red-nosed reflection.
