Air Poem by Troy Cochran

Air

Rating: 5.0


I've never been for a ride in a hot air balloon,
But I've been profoundly happy once or twice.

Even now, sifting through the details of my sordid life,
Free-floating through the fragments of a windshield,

I feel a broad grin welling up
Wanting the ends of my mouth.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Just an old poem of mine ~ one from a pile of manuscripts that I threw away in frustration a while back.It's one that, for whatever reason, sticks in my mind; so I thought I'd share it before it's gone for good.Now, perhaps, it will stop nagging me. :)

It would be good to be happy then, just as you're getting smashed.
