Three
ways to have it all,
or so it
seems;
each in its
own right
a recipe
for domination.
Smash it
all to hell
with a
heavy blow,
knocking
the breath
out of
your neighbor so that
your way
is the only way.
Wrap it
all in a giant blanket,
not from
grandma's quilt collection,
but a
thinly pressed piece
of
processed pulp,
producing
agonizing asphyxia,
or at
least blindness.
Divide and
conquer;
slice and
dice all opposition
into
easily dismissed
slivers
of meaninglessness.
What do
you do with the fool,
holy as
she is, who dares
to play a
fourth option;
one that
flies below the radar
of
conventional warfare: heart?

I love that picture. What is it of exactly?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lindsey. It's a very fragile heart (not sure what it's made of) that I gave Jennie years ago. One day last year I took it outside, laid it on the hood of my truck in the afternoon sunlight, and took a few pictures.
