I was walking down the road <br />not remembering <br /> <br />the right direction <br />was it right...I turned left <br /> <br />at the next <br />intersection? <br /> <br />My soul <br />was chatting to my shadow <br /> <br />who awakened now <br />by a strong sun <br /> <br />kept repeating <br />sleepily to my soul <br /> <br />“Wot...wot? ” <br /> <br />At the last minute I <br />realised it was right to turn right <br /> <br />and did so <br />at the last minute <br /> <br />leaving my shadow <br />and my soul <br /> <br />still chatting on a white washed wall. <br /> <br />I had to go back <br />and scrape ‘em off. <br /> <br />“Come on you guys...keep up! ” <br /> <br />They trail shamefacedly <br />after me. <br /> <br />“We’ll never get to Heaven...at this rate! ”<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/trying-to-get-to-heaven/
