Left Turn

He was not a man Of many words But one day he felt the need To write them down To write things down As concise as possible He always answered a question With a question He never said the same thing twice Out on the street He moved for a reason Tried to keep distance Tried to keep track As precise as possible He was generally forward He was sharp even when he was Leaning back No greeting on his way in and Barely a word at the counter He paid for his tools Paid and left and Walked back home He went for it Without buying it He wouldn't take no for an answer Sitting behind his desk Pen in his hand Notebook on the desk Slightly uneasy Slightly uptight He whispered 'very exciting' He never listened To a story He didn't mean to make a difference He wrote a poem Simple and sweet That to his surprise All the people could read
