the fourth

January 17th, 2013 § 0 comments

Poem #4 for Kerri Accardi

appropriate number for a stranger

insignificant enough to earn itself merit by its own existence

close enough for a what-could-be

equal parts disinterest and intrigue

nothing perfect in the position

yet still sneaking looks to be sure of its presence

most never remember who comes in fourth

still

deep in the crowd

for the simplest of reasons

someone notices

 

and that quick glance

 

the simplest of gestures

 

matters

 

matters most
