On Monday day I caught my thoughts and locked them in a paper cage. I Plucked them from the chaos and I a pinned them to a yellow page. On Tuesday day I woke up numb and spent the day without a care. A dusty muzzy dizzy head without an idle thought to spare. On Wednesday day I bought a thought, it cost a penny and some time, but later on I gave it back the thought was never really mine. On Thursday day I thought I saw some worthy thoughts behind a wall but when I tried to capture them they fled and left nothing at all. on Friday day I found a thought attached to half a mind. I tried to make it whole again but only made the thread unwind. Saturday was just a blur, a thoughtless page of empty space. I opened up the paper cage and wet the skin upon my face. On Sunday day I gathered thoughts and packed them all away. compressed them in a book of lies, ready for another day. Perhaps I'll find an in-between, a day between the days I'll tear the pages from the book and free them from the cage. I'll set each crowded page alight and watch them as they flare, like burning trails across the sky, dancing on excited air. I'll throw each burning thoughtless page into the windy night and watch them as they turn to ash out of mind and out of sight. |

Hi ya Funny Bones, Welcome to PIP, I like your name.  Quote: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I'll throw each burning thoughtless page into the windy night ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hmmmm. Well, you could do what I do. When I've finished scribbling on my paper copy of a finished poem, I used to slide it into the top slot of my paper shreader. But, now that the shreader burned out, I simply deposit the poem in "Open Poetry #44" at the top of my computer screen and watch it scroll down the page..... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ |
