ever wondered
how it would
appear
if you threw an egg
up the ceiling?

you think I am
crazy

well, you may
because you are
entitled to own
your thinking license

a maturity certificate
of sense

but,
look at the sky now,
in this mid-winter month
and tell me what you see

well, I can tell you exactly
what I see

I see clouds
mixed with blue patches

much like the ceiling
in my thoughts
darkening with
cobwebs of memories
and blue in the spirit
of loneliness

and I see the sun
which seems to be
holding back its heat,
unwilling to share its warmth
almost as cold hearted
as the chandelier
above my head
decorated with
impatient light bulbs

as if
waiting to go dead

then I think again,
of an egg thrown
into the non-stick sky!

you think I am
crazy

of course, you do,
you may

but then,
remember this
before you pass your judgement --
holidays --
particularly, alone
can do stranger things to you
!

You are incredible! That is quite the image, a non-stick sky full of egg. You are unique, and I thank you for sharing your special POV.

"and I see the sun

decorated with
impatient light bulbs"

I never thought of light bulbs that way before.
