Damaged Goods
I feel like the bread
at the bottom of the sack
all squished and flattened
and the store won't take me back
I'm damaged goods now
but its not from what I did
it was the cans you stacked against me
while over there you hid
I didn't see it coming
I was happy as can be
just sitting in the grocery bag
when the cans fell down on me

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
