Lost and Found Things I Noticed . . . Ricky Garni
The Shell
as you know
dropped
at night
so the man
was asleep
and felt
nothing
almost nothing
his brain
his heart
instantaneous
his wife
and children
the same
that’s all
there is
to say
I’m afraid
I know
you need
stock footage
so I’ll stay
silent
while you
run the reel
or I’ll say it
again
if you want
the man
was asleep
the shell fell
repeat
in each room
till you get
the right cut
but that’s
your call
boss
whatever
you say
whatever
you think
will be
helpful.
