The Note

A plastic bottle of Coke exploded, spilling
all over an important crumpled note,
making it completely unreadable.

The old man pulls out
his dirty handkerchief to clean up
tearing the note to shreds.

The unhinged door of my mind opened,
snow fell as the hockey puck hit my head,
knocking me out cold.
I’ll never remember

what happened to the note.

Maybe after the swelling goes down- from the puck hitting his head- he'll remember what the importance of that note was. Isn't it just like someone to have that kind of day? Nice job. Have a nice day.
