this started out as some sort of ode to the planet, or to the inhabitants of it-or something. i was hoping to depart, at least a bit, from the whole confessional cry-baby sort of shit that i usually write, but i am still unsure as to how well i accomplished that.
either way, here it is.
oh, i almost forgot..."Yay for Earth!" Earth Day is April 22; let's all keep that in our wasteful minds.
another broken window
what a pretty little
hamster wheel we've landed on
-so blue, so bright, so green-
it just might be the
cutest little marble
to split this either, yet-
it seems to me that pearls
are simply palettes
to be prettied-up and fancied to
reflect the verdure of our
perfect little bead;
how beautiful it is,
sparkling amidst the
violent starlight
how bound to its plight, it remains
just for being what and where it is-
so inspiring
and
pathetic, it spins
how tediously self-wrought
with imperfections
how wry she smiles
unaware of our resemblance-
owning her elliptical grin, she makes
over one thousand promises every second
that we break with every sound our chests make...
mother,
we have not yet learned to fly quietly
