string of broken beads
scattered on the floor
my life
some crushed underfoot
others scooted under furniture down the air vent
toy for catplay bounced off the wall
until the game gets old
tired
and the beads dusty
scratched 
lay scattered
on the floor
my life

Nokwisa Yona - Jody Peiffer Willett 06/17/97
