Fingers

Stick\'em out

By the end of every tunnel

There is always light, they said

Missing a moment I realized

There were no light but a tired train

I watched the driver’s finger stuck out at me in terror

Holding my dear life

I leaped off the bridge amidst nearest bush.

Interrupted youth snorted grabbing his clothes

Stuck out his finger in fury

Alarmed his woman covered her chest with bony hands

I ran into the busy street

Tripped and missed the wheels of a cola truck

Withdrawing his head inside the cabin like a turtle

Driver held his finger stuck out for me

Till his truck disappeared from my eyes

In dismay I wondered how come \"so often\"?

Next time I didn’t make it

It was a boy so noble by looks

His bicycle ran over me

Rubbing his flat bottom he shot his eyes at me

Then sticking out his finger at me, he cursed and hurried away

Now, sticking out both middle fingers

Apparently meant for nobody in particular

I am melt in this crowd

Floating ahead agreeing

There is no light by the end of any tunnel
