Problem Solved

/ animar64 / 2 Comments

If you are odd

like me

and

if you are strange

like me

and

if you want to fit in

like I do-

sometimes.

 

What do you do?

 

You can smile like

me

and you can

pretend to

like coffee and Reality TV

like I have

you can wear flip flops in the summer

and funny sweaters in the winter

and when something dark and wicked

pops up in your brain

and eats at your bones and makes your hands twitch and your eyes burn

you

just smile

like I do

and pretend to like coffee and Reality TV

like I do

and you wait until

it is dark

to

really smile

in your bathroom mirror

with

all of your teeth

Like I Do.

My Little Kite

/ animar64 / Leave a comment

” I want to sail free, like a kite” she cried  in ecstasy

from the bridge

called

Aurora

up into the clear blue  sky

of someone else’s  Spring

which had come  to her surprise

late in her Winter.

Okay

Winter agreed

who joined her on the bridge

called

Aurora

And Winter came to her

as it will always has for us all

in the form of a woman

dressed in black

and Winter roared

in ecstasy

as she pushed her off of the bridge

called

Aurora

to the gray, cold water  below,

” Fly my little kite. Soar. “

RDP Saturday: KITE

Not A Fan

When Spring arrives

and the Earth turns green and comes alive and the Sun warms my face and my bones

chilled to the core

by the Winter and its friends Ice and Snow

I could just pull my eyes out of my

head

and stamp all over them with my sassy summer sandals

that

pinch my feet

because

I hate the Spring.

 

I hate listening to cats looking for sex all night long.

I hate

the smell of fertilizer that stinks up the air

because everyone turns into

Old McDonald or that little girl in ” The Secret Garden

and they want to make ‘green things grow.’

Piffle! Stinky horrible PIFFLE

 

The only thing I like about Spring and the Summer

is when people

go outside and worship the Sun

and I can see their skin sort of mummify right there, in slow motion

and the air smells like barbequed food

and if you are really lucky

you can see yellow jackets fly off with pieces of meat from picnic tables.

 

Spring is a tease

it’s like Summer without the attitude

and it means that the Winter

is

Oh

so

very

far

away.
