There was a yellow man.

The yellow man paced at a blank door.

The door opens and shows a man in white. He shook his head once and the yellow man fell.

He fell, and fell, and fell.

His knees cracked when he touched the checkered ground.

Clear beads fall to the cool tile.
He fell, and fell, and fell.

The yellow man doesn't get up.

That poor, poor yellow man walked to his home. His empty, empty home.

And there he fell, he fell and fell and fell.

The yellow man never got up, no he never got up.


The author's comments:
The poem is about a man (described as yellow, trying to make the reader get a certain emotion from it.) that finds his wife's operation failed, and he falls to his knees in pain. The ending can be taken as a few ways meant for the reader to decide for themselves.
