herman grant saw what he thought was a buffet
only to be ousted for what again he thought was just a couple of shrimp
no one would miss them but that wasn't the thing that got him ousted
what got him on the floor heels in the air boot toes squeak like everything else squeaks
when hands clench shoulders wielding their own contention
was the fact that he was not invited
no one else was
mind you however he was especially not invited
like pickles in dessert
he pined the air familiar as most smiles lent to himself
as he enjoyed the plenty
the spread
was vast
unwittingly like severance pay in playpens
all the others saw him he was not to be talked to
and to the others locking eyes with him was at first thought
a hair pinned clothe in thy loose to the wind yet no one asks why its there
for they do not dare
tread beneath its shade
nor could they
prepared a chance to dance Two feet out
a bubble popped its' last regret
and they could not die not now the light Within is to good
they sang
and the waves will lay me when I'm done
and the others saw him as a rock that stays
but not in the good way
they took him there and lent him neither
pass nor preference until gate
the only thing he saw they proclaimed self sustaining invitations and they
relaxed each others tones with calm
sounds as street lamp coils fending off the first darkness of france
without poetry
And to herman grant the hole thing seemed the same indifference was no difference
when day became night again
he sought to grow his hair and tend to the stars noting changes when he saw them
and spent his days minding places most of all
only to be ousted for what again he thought was just a couple of shrimp
no one would miss them but that wasn't the thing that got him ousted
