Three Freckles and a Fireman


They spoke only to him, the fireman,
these three freckles,
and he flashed them to the world
in innocence
thinking they wouldn’t mind,
thinking they deserved fortune and fame...

Yes, they offered themselves to him,
and only him,
but he knew the world would be a better place
if they were only known...

To him they were the best of freckles
guiding beacons of lights, revealing the way
together, a heavenly constellation
for those mired in naïveté,
for those lost in inexperience,
for those trapped in innocence...

A way out, a way up, a way in;
so he wrote a passionate letter about them,
and it was published...

in return, they wrote a letter
about the fireman,
how he was theirs now,
how they had won his exclusive ownership
by virtue of allowing him to pass through their hallowed doors
and immerse himself in the treasures that they guarded...
and they described him,
in every minute detail,
in part out of revenge, it is true,
but in part that, hey, it may do the world some good
if he were only known...!
