I'm Writing Flat Words

Post by theirishsea » July 24th, 2019, 8:47 am

I’m writing flat words
No bounce
To snag a ring
Claim a prize
Writing flat on a computer screen
Everything so tentative
Forgettable
The universe will delete this
Just like it does the most brilliant insight
You don’t think so?
Give it time
Time is a noose
That hangs our greatest vanities
The Irish Sea Is Always In Turmoil, Even When Calm.

the Universe will be sorry if they delete your flat thoughtful words, TIS.

Yes, time deletes everything sooner or later. Einstein told us how to stop it though (time, that is). So I think I'm going to buy a spaceship and fly it at light speed so I can stop it (time, that is). I wonder if craigslist has any for sale with low miles ...

Beautiful- flat words
Straight up
Real
The moment
Is to deal
With the world
So all around crazy
But the common denominator
Is love
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---
