The rain. The dusk. The lone bassoonist. Sacked by a summer wind.
Brought home a sandwich of lost sidewalks. Out of a job, yet bookishly good looking.
If I was ever to the point, it was not in this poem.
If ever there was a point, it was not me that made it.
All that is left
Is chance,
Impossible
Solemn chance.
And love is
Your underwear on backwards. When it’s on at all.
naïve haircuts 
…chance.

I love this Bob! The solemn, though slightly bent – where’s he going with this – setup. And the absolutely priceless finale. I’m putting my underwear on backwards right now!

“If I was ever to the point, it was not in this poem.
If ever there was a point, it was not me that made it.” – These lines tickle me, I can’t say why!
Also, I’m not sure you can put a bra on backwards, it wouldn’t work 🙂
An enjoyably discombobulating poem, Bob (no pun intended).

What a treat this is Bob…..”brought home a sandwich of lost sidewalks.” What a line. I’m reminded me of long walks in no particular direction that provide some relief from a cycle of negative thoughts. Inspires me to do just that – start taking long walks again. And the underwear line, “when it’s on at all” Hilarious. A future bumper sticker? – “Nudity is encouraged!” Happy Kerouac birthday. I’m about to raise up a toast!

I’m really looking forward to warmer weather and taking those long walks. I do get out in the winter and it’s not so bad, but summer walks are the best. I think a walk does for me what others get out of meditation. Glad you liked the underwear line. I get nervous about humor, I guess it go flat. Happy Birthday Jack!! Dharma Bums… still the best title ever.
