Poem by Clark Pascoe:
Last Will and Testament

I watched a guy from my balcony one night 
sitting in his Volkswagen 

there was lightning out on the horizon 

and this guy 
was rapidly sucking through a cigarette 

not pausing to enjoy it 
but yes, rapidly smoking it down 

and then he suddenly took off 

like it was his 
Last Will and Testament

I do not know 
what goes on in the mind of another man 

“Perhaps he will burn down his village or 
perhaps he will go on a holy pilgrimage to Jerusalem”

Ever read a #poem & not know why it drew you in? Did its casual tone make you the observer who wouldn't otherwise pay attention to this scene, or did the end leave you both curious & quite satisfied with "I don't know"? Simply wonderful! #ClarkPascoe #LiftToTheSky
