[poem] Gosling

[kaberett]

My place in the order of things
is, or so it sometimes seems,
at the back of the second sock drawer
with the dust and dead insects and dressmaker's pins:
an awkward spiky half-forgotten oddment.

This flows better as spoken word:

Like a spiky half-forgotten oddment.

The word "awkward" being conspicuously what you have removed from the line, heh ;)

(But thank you!)
