ReplyDeleteI am wandering through blogs this morning, lifting lines to make poetry. I hope you don't mind ... and I don't want to offend you but I found this typo in number 4 perfect inspiration (I think it is a typo ... but don't fix it!)
ReplyDeleteHang out with fiends ..
those rascals who vex us --
interest us --
find us when we are most vulnerable
and twist our words into pretzel logic
so that we rush off in a huff,
echoes of their confrontations simmering
all day, and into the night.
Don't ignore them ... co-opt these fiends as friends.
Bring them into your world,
and then use the best of what they do
to upend expectations that have comfortably settled in
all around you.
