Just Out of Sight

This poem has seen it all
Trends the come and go – waiting

around the bend to return in
a slim disguise that can not

fool this poem
Long hair, short hair, no hair, facial hair

Wide pants, narrow pants, no pants
streaking across a field

Spikey heels, flat soles, flip flops that
used to be thongs, but now that is

something entirely different
Pop beads, love beads, crystal beads

Moon rocks, pop rocks, pet rocks,
Rock ‘n Roll

This poem has watched it all come and go,
but it won’t stop looking until

it sees peace
