Old rocking chair

My rocking chair: At home

by Roshan Pandey

I had a rocking chair

Which I brought from Goodwill dear

It was such an amazing chair

Where I sat down to drink a can of Corona beer

To hear the flow of Iowa river

Move from west to east in the sun’s atmosphere

Across the river were a boyfriend and a girlfriend

Looking to get their first kiss

Only to have it missed

Unaware there was a hunter

Shooting at the sandpiper

Down went the sandpiper fluttering its wings

At the couple’s shiny feet

Pounding her heartbeat

Took her only 60 seconds

To lose her last breath
