I literally spoilt the vanilla each time offered to me
Found was he way nerd – neek
Because some less deeply stir up,
nothing perfect anywhere, but
Dino found his glee
Dino sat on a bench entering a park
Dino came out rushing, then
Dino barged into a salon, needing a nice haircut
not a Slide Part, nor Slicked Black, no Modern Pompadour
Dino chose what barber said
too inappropriate for Dino
Dino didn’t pay heed, paid a fat price
Dino came out to a road to cross
there was no wall, no bar, so I found Dino
like all find some day –
and asked his name:
Dino
said he got this role in a movie directed on time
it’s Dino, all of his look only flat façade,
he’s busy somewhere at penetralia
Many years later, I saw a movie while in a flight
there was a way found in the scene
the scene came on time
every time The Scene comes on time
and Dino on the way
