It's been a windy day.
A windy-ass day, if I may.
A constant surge of the stuff.
Just continual, on-going blowing.
The leaves of the trees
will not shut up,
and my hair is made
of so many fly-aways.
I see my face now
in the reflection of
the laptop's screen
as I sit outside
typing this ditty out.
I also see the reflection
of the sky behind waving
arms of leafy branches,
as if the trees dance
to the unheard music
of the steady gust.
The music becomes
the whisshhhh....
Forever, as far as I'm concerned.
That's all I hear.
Anyway,
it's been
a strange-ass
day.
I spent the day
with my mother
and her friend, Tina.
I believe my mother
fancies Tina's husband,
but that's another story.
We went to brunch
at Mimi's in Parker.
We each paid for
our own meal.
They had bloody mary's,
I had iced tea.
After that we went
and saw EAT PRAY LOVE.
I hesitate to say it
was dreadful.
It wasn't awful,
not terrible or anything.
Just a chick flick,
totally.
But there were alright
thoughts scattered randomly
throughout,
touching moments,
my mom cried at least.
I find myself giving myself up
for the sake of the others around me.
I am the accompaniment.
I enjoy myself,
even though the activity
is not one I would do
if I were alone.
Just a day with Mom.
Nothing wrong with that.
A dragonfly just attempted
to fly up around my porch,
but he got caught by some wind
and blown out towards the street.
I realize this isn't
even a poem,
but a string of random
thoughts made to
resemble a poem.
My life is not a poem,
it only resembles one.
Someone has once said to me,
"the appearance IS the object!"
If that is true,
then this IS a poem,
and my life IS a poem.
The greatness of the poem,
is as always, debatable.
Just this particular one,
I'd say,
is fairly shabby.
What am I saying?
I am saying nothing.
I am just saying.
Leave me alone why dontcha.
The day just
rolls along...
Time, time, time, time...
My mom is a chatterbox.
The wind has still
not let up
and shows no
signs
of doing so.
