It Is Like A Road Sign Which The Recent Tornado Has Not Taken Poem by RIC BASTASA

in that party
there were five of them

the one that laughs
the most
is the gay one
who perhaps thinks that
he is exempted
from the hazards of
sorrow

the other one is fat
but feels her sexiness
all over her
turgidity

the rest are part of
the mindless people

i mean, one may not
even have to mention
because they are not
worth remembering

but just the same to
live this life one must
learn to laugh with them

drink with them and eat
with them
but it will just be there
for after this hour
i am on my own again

silent, strong, determined
on where to go next
and what to really do

the purpose is there
it is like a road sign
which the recent tornado
has not taken
