The Giraffe Blog – Poems by Virgenal Owens

One day,
I will go deep-sea landfill diving
For every loose-leaf paper
That contains one of my scribbled inventions, 
For all my pieced-together song lyrics on napkins, 
The cure for cancer 
Was probably written on some old receipt.

I have a knack 
For never finishing anything,
Throwing away every spark
That could ignite the world.
