I love the word melange
It sounds not-so-ordinary
Though not so extraordinary
But I feel a notch above the rest when I use it
So much so for being pretentious
And without being rambunctious
I’ll say that I find —
It describes, perfectly, the state of my mind —
Some happy thoughts, some with twists
Some clear ones, some fogged with mist
Some good, others amiss
A curious melange of thoughts
Of that and this
And that, I suppose, is also what life is.
