Wednesday Witty-schism, 5/28/14

(my mind's continuing verbal wars with itself)


“You can not
find love.
Love must find you.
In order for love
to find you,
you must make of your self
a big hole.
How could one fall
in love with you
if there is nowhere
to fall?”

The Poem in Question…

...from when it was Time For Bed...

TheNaturesSong

The Nature’s Song

The wind
whistles past the summer
stream, The sun shines of a
beautiful beam,
The colorful animals
from all around,
Make their noises with 
perfect sound.
The songs of birds drift
past the trees,
With millions and millions
of bumble bees,
buzzing in their hive
with plenty of honey,
To bees, the honey is
mostly like money,
From all around the world,
animals stir,
The worlds full of 
       movements,
     and different sound
The animals all have their
own type of song.

Love what she's doing here with her syntax and sentence structure.)






“Time for bed.”

“Finish what you’re doing and clean up your mess, kid.  It’s time for bed.”

“Ok, dad.”

“I said, it’s time for bed!  It’s been ten minutes.  STOP what you’re doing and get your butt upstairs.”

OK, dad.”

“Maggie, I’m Serious.  It’s already a half-hour after your bedtime and tomorrow’s a school-day.  Come on.”

OK!  I just have to finish this!”

“No, you don’t.  It’s time for bed.  I’m not going to tell you again.”

“But dad, I just want to finish this poem!”

“Look, I said…….what?….”

“….oh…….um…okay……well…..just don’t take too long….”

looking at the city, to the north-east, from the corner of Grand and Chouteau, taking the magpie to school at 8:30am, while at a stop-light (a moment poem, formerly called a flash poem)

a criss-cross pattern
of moving metal and flesh
at acute angles
interwoven through 
green, trees, concrete 
and rails. and bridges 
over the rails.
an open weave
patchwork blanket quilt
of animal, vegetable and mineral
vying--always vying--for 
the light







Wednesday Witty-schism…addendum

"Nothing is more impressive than someone who never tries to impress."
"...which makes me sound a bit too much like I'm trying to impress with my sparkling wit...which is...umm...rather unimpressive...."
"...unless of course that was my plan all along, to unimpress with my feigned attempt to impress, knowing full well how impressive it would truly be..."
