if only i watched where i was walking

the piece
of gum i stepped on this morning
in the hot
sun
has been with
me all day.
an enormous melted
pink wad
fallen out of a kid's mouth.
like a suction cup my one
foot keeps
sticking,
lagging behind as i walk
around the park.
there's not a cloud in the sky.
if only
i'd watched where i was
walking,
life would be perfect again.
