You were fully aware
that it is contagious.
Yet,
you pointed that yawn
right at me.

Why
Why do you continue
the fool’s dark dance
and deny your own luminosity?
Why do you commit yourself to an eternity of decay?
Self-loathing cause a curious pigmentation
and you are saturated by it

Subtext
You really aren’t as clever as you think
Or maybe you just underestimate me
I did indeed read between the lines
Your message not so hidden after all
Or maybe that was the point
If so, why did you need me to know?
If not to relay your message to its intended recipient
Do you think it paints you in a better light than had you communicated it yourself?
Or maybe, just maybe you didn’t expect me to see the deeper meaning behind it all
Be careful now. . . your slip is showing

Translation
Can I get a translation?
Interpretation??
I don’t happen to speak
your particular brand of crazy.

Tchotchkes
Tchotchkes, knick-knacks, “collectibles”
Whatever you call them
you know what they really are
Dust collectors
Trapping every bit of dust and dander they come in contact with
Sometimes I feel that way
Like a dust collector
for every negative thing
floating my way
Or a gaping black hole
Devouring everything it comes in contact with…
feather duster anyone?

NaPoWriMo2020 is coming!
So as you may know April is National Poetry month and NaPoWriMo is basically a challenge to write a poem each day of April…which I fully intend to do this year! So with that in mind I’d thought I’d post a reminder for everyone 🙂 Let us all read, write and celebrate poetry.
