Something Happened. (2007)

 Something happened…

…and I found myself

in a jungle

on a prison break.

…and I found myself

at bat, two out,

bottom of the ninth,

down by one.

…and I found myself

on a balcony in Tepoztlan 

eating pizza.

…and I found myself

at the cocktail party

from hell. “Why did I

ever write that book?”

…and I found myself

seventy years old

on a park bench,

“I wasted my life.”

…and I found myself

breathing out

for the last time.
