the smoke went up.
i watched it.
somehow, i have allowed
this sweet revelation
to lapse (v).
i lapsed (v) into silence
when i saw him.
inevitably.
unsaid words,
damaged done, both ways.
an white-elephant attempt.
----------------------------------------------
was at the petrol kiosk
waiting to pay.
stood beside the ice-cream box.
the realisation of me looking into it,
searching for cornetto mocha,
struck me speechless;
not that there's anyone to tell it to.
a dumbo-elephant discovery.
