A Pedestrian Poem About My Pedestrian Day

today
i dropped
the honeypot
and it flew into a million shreds!
except
it didn’t.
why would it?

it happened like

bang!

and then
the calm and quiet
ooze
of honey
slid slowly
across
the tiled
floor
carrying the glass
along with it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Something to Think About

Exhibit A:

Exhibit B:

“Happiness makes us older, less romantic, less in need of dreams. Discontent, not happiness, is the food of youth and poetry.”                     – Nan Fairbrother

Exhibit C:

(David Byrne interviewing PJ Harvey. Two of my most favorite people collide.)

I don’t know about you, but I tend to side more with Nan than with PJ on this one, although “safety,” “stability,” and “contentment” are certainly 3 different things.
