The Foreword

By Hugo,

sunlight has blue rays

it has a natural girth and magnetism.

I was walking amongst its scope

and saw a man about to be struck

In my usual stupefied stance I intervene;

I ask whats the problem.

“He begs in front of our store”

“its not good for business”

I pick the man up I say come with me

I get him some food

tell him never beg in front of that place!

I give him 20 dollars;

tell him:

“I’ll share my unemployment check with you”!

he asks me as he eats and I watch,

“who broke your nose”?

“love did I respond”

He tells me with a balled fist,

NO!

expectation did!

I say “ok, ok patience takes a bit to mature brother”!

“I’ll see you tomorrow?”

“he tells me I don’t expect you to be there”

I grab his hand and say

“I’ll will see you tomorrow!”

sunlight has blue rays

it has a natural girth and magnetism

sometimes it reveals things you do not want to see

sometimes it unveils things you need to see!
