when I was a sophomore in high school
I searched for meaning
but just found it yesterday while searching
the trash in the stifling heat
I am credulous though you may think me
insane- I do warble from time to time
I sometimes see frogs eating cake
can you picture that ?
some say my judgment is questionable
I studied zoology in university
I know everything about animals
I am a maven and most times irresistible
I love being carnivorous
I don’t understand vegans
I love to sip tea with mint leaves
I like to collect diamond-studded dog collars
actually I hoard them
but don’t tell my partner
he might want them
these days he has been looking at me quizzically
though I am not concerned
I am much more clever than he
he wears edible panties
so what does that tell you?
I don’t like xenophobic people
they are troublesome just like misplaced sprockets
I think I may move to Uruguay
learn to play soccer and become
transcendant and grow a beet root garden
now there’s a life I want

ReplyDeleteAre you sure? Well if you say so ok ;)

Wonderful rambling feel Pamela! Like taking a quick snapshot of an interestingly cluttered mind (as I sit here with my mint leaves sticking to the side of my tea glass and four windows opened on my computer screen)....
ReplyDelete- Dina
Sounds nice Dina!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks
Pamela
I like this a lot, especially the bit about hoarding diamond dog collars and keeping them from the speaker's partner. You strike just the right balance of mystery and openness in this.
ReplyDeleteJames thanks for commenting!
