I Just Washed the Floor
Folder:
2019 What’s the meaning, cat paw hands in air scream,
I just washed the floor!
But, she wasn’t getting up to say,
Sorreeee.
She was dead.
Door nail tote.
On the ground,
Dead.
The Detectives said, it had been several hours,
Meaning. she wasn’t to blame.
Nope, It wasn’t her, It couldn’t be her,
Who was her anyway?
Dead in the door way,
Tote.
Clean floor,
Dead.
A casual passerby or serious jogger,
In rich jeans.
Not getting up today.
No, siree.
She was a goner,
Hit the earth
Too soon.
Dead.
By all accounts, a tourist lost.
Sad news to distribute.
No bon voyage,
In reverse.
She had
gone to,
The great
Beyond.
Cat paws to the sky
Scream echoes
All are gone
No one left to
Cry
Nothin left to say
But
I just washed the floor.
Terrific narrative,
Terrific narrative, beautifuly inked..... smart!
This poem
is dramatic and has the spoken word ending that nails it. Cat or tourist, dead on the clean floor. - slc
