Dangling Past Participle (edit, True)

The past sneaks
in sporting a pom-pommed beanie
and an IDGAF teeshirt,

humming an earworm
that bounces
with a light step and a grin.

It can’t quite meet
my eye and pretend.

(all crit, or anything else, welcomed)

Dangling Past Participle

The past sneaks
in disguised
in a pom-pommed beanie
and an IDGAF teeshirt.

Its hum is masked
in an undercurrent,
a happy earworm that bounces
with a light step and a grin.

It can’t quite meet
your eye and act
as if scar tissue
removal is minor
surgery.
