When I think about that time I did a 180
On the on ramp to Rt. 80
In the rain
With on coming traffic staring me in the face
But no traffic came, I put the car in reverse
Did an about face, and went along my way
At a bit of a slower pace.
When I think about that time
I was about eight or nine
Playing Star Wars with my cousins
I stuck my head up from behind the boxes
And caught a Duracell size D in the eye.
Now I have 4 eyes, but at least I didn’t go blind.
When I think about the time I got robbed by 4 dudes,
coming from 4 ways, on 1 street,
rolling up on 1 Steve.
No where to go,
I still broke out for sure.
But they caught me and flashed a gun for show.
Took my money and chain,
The shirt off my back and my briefcase.
Once again,
I backed up, did an about face,
And hopped the first bus to anywhere.
I could have been dead, but I’m still here.
When I think
on the goodness of God.

The following blog updates inlcude poetry selections from my forthcoming poetry book, "My Life in Verse". This first book is meant to be a collection of short stories in the form of poetry that encompass the many experiences that have made up my life thus far. It is a literary expression of who I am, Stephen Edward.
