There is no picture attached, so serious consideration
to its validity is pondered. Should I attach one?
It's always an afterthought. Dark char wafts in
from the kitchen, while I make this consideration.
****, that was the last potato too. Not another
to grate my nerves. Breakfast interrupted
for brooding, but there are no eggs. Prices crisis,
you know. Oatmeal must do. That sappy grin on
that Quaker fella's face, can you see it? It's on a
cylindric container all red, white and blue. Daughters
of the American Revolution approved. I'd prefer
something green, like a field fresh as dawn, with some
Huckleberry Finn imagery, a boy barefoot, no cares,
******* on a sheath, all buck-toothed. Can you
imagine that?
This is a bit of a jab (well, maybe more than a bit) at poets who feel the need to attach a photo or image to their work to get more hits on social media. I know. Snarky, aren't I?
