Order words better sense in make
they said
Meaning is meaning something for someone
but not I.
Peas not words,
spaced placed and counted,
recounted for smug making correctness
for if one should go
I would crumble
away forceps.
Pineapple crumble notwithstanding
upstairs I go
and down
on each stair a pea I place
I know my place
and it is peas.
When I reach the top I begin
at the bottom again and I count
and place and savour the black and white and green
perfect world of up and downess
Every pea in its place
my pea place in
Every door leads to another door
so it seems but all peas are the same and all doors are peas
Order they said, only obeying orders and
food your order
I order my peas and they order me
Order of the day
Up
And then down
SpOrADic FaNTaSiEs of SQUasHiNg ThE PEaS
with interspersed with animate teapots
with.
Notwithstanding.
I am one with the peas
One pea is gone.
I crumble.
Thanks so much for this award - found some fab poets and inspiration on
this site, especially, and I'd like to nominate bendedspoon.wordpress.com.
Will put a haiku underneath here when inspiration strikes!
I crumble.
