A hypotenuse of pale yellow light
Illumines a small cracked collar button
Fresh- evicted from its domicile of utility
Bereft of the tactual industry-
Of intimately engaged fingertips
Lying in the roadbed, clinging to thread-
Supine, solitary, estranged and unmarked
But, suddenly, reveling in the joyous discovery
An unobstructed view of blue sky!
