Life’s Little Misdirections 🥀🦋

Questions I'll Not Answer

Should I be bitter?
I'm a mix.
It's more interesting.
You cannot cultivate a taste
as I offer the core of me,
sliced, yet
not bleeding out.  7

Should I be scarred?
I have a remarkable body,
more interesting
than the pale flesh next to me
blathering about the weather,
the ball score,
some political rant
none of us have a hand in.  8

Should I be vexed?
Not at your disinterest,
though I'm curious what makes you
tick, tick, tick. When, do you
go boom!? Will your remains
be strewn in bed,
in your car, at your desk
where you're chained
nine to five??  9

Wait, shouldn't I
be asking the questions?
No time for contemplation about that.
I'm about to take another bath,
lather myself in this vat,
remove dull oil and tar
of an ordinary world,
sip my weight in gin
mixed with something sweet.
Cherried stems top my treat.  10

Guess I'm done.  1

34+1, if we need to keep track.

just rambling now. Though, I think an attempt at social commentary about my newest rant about illiteracy that abounds in a community that proposes what? be ignorant??
