Yellow Pages Poem by James Catt

Yellow Pages

Rating: 4.5


I once met
a girl in the city

We sat in the park
for hours
and discussed Lao-tzu.

A tree, like a
leafy sun dial
marked the
passing
into
evening,
we had to say
goodbye.

Time is indeed
elastic,
our was time
was a
passing second,
now the pages of
Lao-tzu are
yellowed,
and i am growing old.
