THE PRIZED MASTERPIECE POEM I AMNOT ABLE TO STEAL RATHER THAN FAIL

Yukunno Ghirmay

Free verse
My great great great great great great
grandparents'

and
close friends
playmates

underwear.

The fabric
chosen
and nicked from

by
their very
cats'.

Meant to forget it
disappointed by several
appointments


warned, time-dust worn!

==================
INSPIRATION and MAL-TRIBUTE
