HAPPENED

Tomin Mooney 1972 (Cochin)

It Happened
And then it didn’t happen
And it between…. What happened, I’m not quite sure

Would it happen again?
I hope not

Did I want it to happen?
Yes seems bout right

Happen again?
No never not

Why it happened?
There are some clues

Is it of any use?
Probably just use, misuse and abuse

So I pen these
To open and shut
Those misshapen what happeneds

What happened just happened.

About this poem

About the what Happened-s that one so often get stuck in ...so much in younger days...not so much as the years have gone by.
