This week’s selection.
5980.
Sign on a gas station along a lonely road:
no clues no conjures no curios
no credit cards accepted
5981.
a row of washing machines
your pink bra flashing by the window
It’s like it’s signaling me
5982.
Engine revs Metal clangs expands and contracts
The beat of the shiny heart is relentless
The rocket ship takes off
5983.
how that hour
can be such a free-running sieve
that pre-dawn post-nightmare
talking in your sleep hour
5984.
The cold sunshine bears down on the open grave
The stiff breeze rattles the floral tributes
Their ribbons snap in a festive kind of way.
It seems disrespectful.
5985.
These quarrels. Their infernal high-pitched shrieks
Thud of thrown shoes. Smell of burning silk neckties.
Sizzle of a cell phone dropped in the bathtub. Again.
These quarrels.
#5981 amuses and then #5985 saddens me…..
Thank you. The world is full of events happening all at the same time, and sad mixed ludicrous mixed with peaceful snoozing. I like to write these as I think of the overall genre of them as millions of small pieces of life here on earth.
#5981 made me laugh. I bet that brightly flashing bra was in the middle of a white wash too.
Yes. That is how I thought of it too. A subversive influence in all kinds of ways.
