He stumbled over something while he crossed a path <br />Distracted <br />Reminded of a smile that wasn't familiar at all <br />Crooked <br />Thought about someone that didn't smell so good <br />Fetid <br /> <br />He felt the heavy air and noticed it's not that bad <br />Didn't pay attention when he bumped into a man <br />Got amused with the scene of a weird frozen swing <br />He knew it didn't sway but prefered to imagine it did <br /> <br />He ran and took a seat on that swing <br />So fast <br />Tried to understand what just happened <br />Too sad <br />Then he whispered with dimmed eyes <br />A cry <br /> <br />'That something I stumbled over, <br />The unfamiliar crooked smile <br />The fetid someone I thought about <br />The man I almost threw to the ground <br />Oh my God, that's not alright... <br />Distracted I forgot it was me all the time'<br /><br />Ananda Alves<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/forgotten-33/
