Saturday Poetry - A Rock

A Rock

Today I threw a rock

It was a small one, a pebble really

Not much

I threw it at a window, not expecting anything

A gesture

When the window broke, the sound was not so loud

But not so small either

Like when a server drops a plate

And everyone claps

Why do they clap?

What assholes

The rock didn’t hit where I wanted it to

My aim isn’t very good

I was surprised it hit anything

It struck the letter “P’ and that was all

A little hole appeared where the “P” would be

The “P” was gone

And the window was left with TRUM

TRUM is the sound of a rusty horn

Or an elephant maybe

TRUUUUUUMMMMMM

It is a loud sound, obnoxious

It fit

I was surprised

Both that the window broke

And that I broke it

I didn’t know I broke windows

But I guess I do

Because there it is

Broken

Maybe I should have been sorry

Or I should have been scared

But all I could think was

What else can I break?
