She Had More Friends - Joanne Burns

she had more friends
than you could fit
into the back of a truck

that’s why she didn’t mind
leaving them parked
on a cliff edge

while she went
for a stroll
with the brake in her pocket


I copied this poem from a textbook onto a piece of paper sometime during high school. In my most recent clean and purge session I found it. For some reason facebook springs to mind when I reread it...

At least I can now finally throw away the paper- it's preserved for all eternity on the intarwebz :)
