Poem

Yesterday Morning

He startled me
and people nearby.
He yelled and pointed
at nothing
in front of Safeway. 

He was out of his mind. 
I offered first aid
wishing to intervene
to put a stop to this annoyance
and spectacle 
that took my breath away.

I approached, walking backwards towards him
and sticking pencils up my nose as I did.  
When I reached him, I spun around quickly 
singing “I am the Walrus, Goo goo g' joob 
Goo Goo Goo g' joob.” 
His eyes popped out of his head and he ran 
screaming into the bushes 
behind the store.  

I did my good deed for the day.
