Notes About The Poem

For Select a Feb 25 Posted Poetry Contest sponsored by Brian Strand

The One Foot After the Other Man

Everything's broken down again.
The sky is filled with rain.
The blood not flowing down the drain
is bound to leave a stain.

Where is hope to be found
when it has just been drowned?
He is the guy who can - 
the one foot after the other man.
