Outside the Gas Station III

Outside the Gas Station III

A Poem by Benjamin

I loved it without doubt

my tiny little sprout, but--

it always grew:

to my knees then my chest

then my head then the rest.


I emptied my garage of its things,

a toolbox, some rings...all from years

and years ago, time rusted like gears

in a watch.


Still it was not enough.


Into a massive beast it grew,

right on through the roof;

up and out and over it flew,

and left me without proof.


I will not forget, or forfeit

those memories tender,

for they render me helpless--


like a tiny ball of fur and feather

left to weather the world alone

till you come and pick me up.
