Poem, 8/15/18 Today
Poem, 8/15/18 Today Yesterday is Today We carry yesterdays today Everywhere we go Baggage, dead weight, always the problems "The chains we forged in life" As Jacob Marley said to Alistair Sim in the 1951 classic A Christmas Carol I never slept with or dated a Carol But I wanted to I wanted a lot and got what I deserved or so " they" say What do you say about your day? Merry or gay? Cold or a mouse colored gray? Melancholy is no way to spend the day. Lift your eyes from the ground Listen to the sound of your heartbeat breath deep feel alive eat a pizza and desert on some pistachio ice cream with a dollop of coffee extract make that perfect cup of coffee prop those tired achy feet up rub those sore arms and feel life think of those all but forgotten childhood memories Our clans, our people all had something beneficial to offer somewhere even in anger, loss dispassion alcoholism not being there for you nagging ordering you around life's potholes and pitfalls but there were bologna sandwiches with catsup and mustard and<b> cherry </font></b>Kool-Aid and sickness and servility laughter and love and old hounds and sleeping purring cats smile for you must slog through you're as stuck in life as those at the trenches of Somme in 1916 Cowboy up dust off and seize the hourglass of pain by it's buxom sexy curves and hurl it through the mirror shatter your delusions of today throw the ignorant grains of sand spilling from their glass confinement into the face and jaws of The Lions of Deceit . Do it today. |
