The h2g2 Poem

1 Conversation

Columbus

Drift lightly,

paper boat marked of length.

Follow dirty rains

for a chance to spread

wry grins across arid landscapes

and reflect within blue-grey eyes.


Happenstance,

a dirty word in strange-lands

where fingers tighten

against alien shores.

Dark maize grains roughening,

scarring gums and grim mouths.
