GOLD MAGNET
Not my idea
I’m sure
Not that I don’t think
Of the impossible
Coming up with something new
Original if there is such a thing
A grasp into the place
Where you’re suddenly something
You didn’t work for
But can take credit
Be admired looked up to
Revered followed
Cure for cancer
I’ve had that one
For a thousand years
Figuring out that impossible math problem
Some smart guy came up with
Making used plastic evaporate
Plastic water
Ending hunger poverty
My thought balloon
Fills with the answer
Just like that
All this is better I would say
Than worrying
About the future
Regretting the past
Letting the present slip away
Without meaning
Or intent
It’s going to if I don’t
Fill it
Now it’s about that magnet
Someone came up with one for iron
Didn’t they
See there’s still hope
