AFTERTHOUGHT Joseph Roque Providence, RI |
AFTERTHOUGHT There comes a bump in our road, leaves small senses shaken, a short circuit glitch in navigation one day pulls us through a do not enter door we each of us reach when we simply subtly quietly become everyone’s afterthought. . . dropped tossed booted from convenient memory, left alone to hang around, hardly noticed, uninvolved, like a dead appendage swaying mindlessly— silent and un-useful surplus to the rest of what’s left of everyone around us.
