Analysis of Essence of Minutiae



A piece of lint in the pocket,
a blade of grass on the lawn,
a picture less locket,
who's without a neck to hang on,
one flake in a blizzard,
one leaf in the fall,
one car in the junkyard,
who's engine won't stall,
just a tree in the forest,
just an adrift castaway,
just an unpleasant tourist,
who's asked to go away,
a perplexed little guppy,
one in an ocean of schools,
just a lonely sad puppy,
who's an insignificant fool.
