The Mundane

Glittery, jittery raindrops.

An old, long lost friend turned cold.

Beckoning to move faster, and rush

Until out of the wet, and onto the damp cotton jump-seat

Faked bliss, but still happiness edges nearer

And nearer.

 

Little green bells of our lady of artistic inspiration

Observation and fresh vegetable

Graveyard maintenance.

The mundane.

 

Frog-legs dance on their tip toes.

Buttery biscuits and the sound of gagging from the stall--

Instantly gratified.

Small child-stares, and alone in a fantastic universe.

Melodies cease, imagination deflates

The mundane.

 

Sticky leaves stuck on black and white cats.

Voracious, they ravage the tall grass.

Passive-aggressive sunshine sprinkles now, and burns later.

Fortifying iced drinks, and pinkish, blueish, purplish

Does the sun go down?
