interesting facts
What do you find interesting?
cement pillars
holding up giants
traveling on wheels
…
might be
interesting for us
but for others
not so much
and yet we can
all agree that
facts are facts
sounds phony
How do you talk?
babbling on
sparkling water
starts to sit still
…
the times we pause
the times we use filler words
the times we say umm
the times we hesitate
the time is now
for us to become
self-aware of how we speak
never enough
When will you be satisfied?
matchbox
burnt on the inside
and the outside
…
finishing the race
and then looking
for the next one
is not a plan that
let’s us take a breath
to check and see
if we want to run again
nobody cares
Does caring matter to you?
aged banners
the ants start to flee
for the exit
…
especially in
the sporting world
about the past
as everyone is tuned in
on the idea of
what have others done
for us lately?
negative traits
What bad qualities have you experienced lately?
brewing grey
the rain scatters
when lightning strikes
…
sometimes
it’s a good thing
to check if we are
envious
stubborn
volatile
narcissistic
fingerprint
What defines you?
seaberry
orange balloons
reach for the sky
…
everyone of us
on this earth
is unique and has
a story to tell
that shouldn’t be
covered or masked
from wearing gloves
drums or flats
What are your preferences?
smoking grill
the smell of cut grass
meets green peppers
…
our preferences
on what we like or dislike
will not change
no matter how much
outside opinions
and perspectives
come into play
dropping plates
What do you do when something goes wrong?
ignore us
the rabbit waits
for cars to pass
…
causes everyone
around us to look
in the direction
of the sound
that was made
for better or
for worse
put it on red
What are you betting on?
ocean waves
the current always
comes to shore
…
when we place
our bets on someone
or something to happen
the more often
the outcomes we want
will feel like chasing
timing and luck
action or distraction
When do you find yourself losing focus?
heading west
the deer eat falling petals
from the rose bush
…
sticking to the plan
was always the plan
but when the plan
brings other plans
we can plan on
making new plans
for future plans
saucer and cup
What memories are you holding onto?
steeping tea
the water becomes
a green oasis
…
just as the memories
we carry are filled with
emotions and experiences
we hold onto them
for as long as we can
until the time comes
to let them go
