Poetry: JUST MISSED IT

"Is 14 dem
play last night, yuh nuh"

Such is the daily talk
among
          Young and
                          Old alike

A motorist
reflects
on his
good
fortune
having just missed a
Collision
between a
truck
and a
mini-bus
A comic book
movie
showdown
turned to
grisly
real life magled
chassis
and all
As the giant
cvlock
in the bus station
completes another
revolution
and the sun spreads open the
curtain
of the
sky
derelicts
live out their own survival
tales
the latest last chance
for
a new
lease
on life
Spurned
