I'm back! What did I bring you? Just more words.

Hi.

I know I've been away for a while. Please don't ask me to explain. The project I'm working on has been derailed, but I'll pick it up again when I'm feeling more into it.

As a peace offering, please enjoy a poem I wrote today.

Almost, by Accident

by marc t. cameron (don't steal this)

You probably didn't even

mean to smile at me

but you did and I dropped

this poem in your lap

almost by accident.

It was awkward because I am
especially with girls who show
me the slightest unexpected kindness.

Words went everywhere,

on your shirt and in your hair

rolled beneath the chair, where
you sat conversing with a cab
franc. Not with, but over
it, at some unsuspecting
acquaintance whom I may
have sprayed with a stray
comma or indefinite article.

So, please excuse my dangling
participle. Let me get you something
to clean that up. It's hardly noticeable.
I'm not so careless, usually, with my
words but I was caught momentarily

when you smiled at me

just now,

almost accidentally.

...

As always, feedback is very welcome.

Hope you've been well.
