In a bus depot somewhere
a man sits in lost and found
taking care of things that wash up on his shore.
Pairs of socks,
lighters,
phone cases
3 puzzle pieces,
a letter about how this isn't working
From Cassie.
A USB who's only file
is a picture of a tuxedo cat
titled The Duke of Everly III.
And he finds some solace
knowing that there's a connection
between him
and the owners of these things
however fleeting,
however small.
*Lost will eventually have a companion piece called And Found*
