"A Series Of Thoughts - Time In A Bottle..."

Sideways Thoughts

"Time In A Bottle..."

Bent nails
     broken bottles by the rainbow full
          plastic shards
paper and paper and still-life's and -lesses
 -mores and pages of pages of
  split shelves   -  cans (and can'ts),
covers and
              leftover rags, leftovers -
left-unders -
 boxes, edges, corrugated strands, vents
rails and rows  -  strips and pans  - brass handles
dust and fragments and
      curves of only god knows - and none cared...
the sheer scent of CORRUPTIONS
  of souls left behind...
of humanities self-wonderings
of ghosts.

Every thing that's broken
tossed away
thrown away - out
cast, passed, and past
DOOMED to eternities of
...waiting.

Covered over... left on BREW,
awaiting being DONE.

Comes the brushes and
Oooo's and Ahh's
when millennia to come - rediscovering
- nothing
again - 
but the trash always discarded...
and the passed awaiting
and the past
- again... undone.

And each time one footstep has been walked, it is seen as something new, yet to someone else, there have been many footsteps walked there before and the past is undone and relived, not new to them...but placed back on the heat to remold perception.

Delicate, so delicate...is perception and what is lost and gained in-between moments reflected....gathered and given meaning.

sort of how I clean out the chaos of my life..

It's like slam poetry...errr my version of it. sort of like spilling out all this emotion all at once in one big breath. I likey. Very good!

[Audrey Howitt]

For me it was this line that sums up the poem and our indifference and wasteful selves


Covered over... left on BREW,
awaiting being DONE.

A sad thought, yet I think this is where we find ourselves---

I completely get this, and feel I live these moments on a daily basis, of 'what the heck am i doing, how did i get here, and why?' type life-
Love how you put so much detail and thought-shifts that were easy to follow.
I am enjoying your work!!

Chris, this is a more than superb way to display the eternal debris of the indifferent; tis how it is, the minutae that mess with our planet. Your words are an un-treasure map of Earth, not just today's, but past and future.

pero la basura siempre se descartan ...
y el pasado a la espera
y el pasado
- Una vez más ... deshacer"

Fuera lo viejo ... con la nueva

Bien hecho mi amigo

Sweep up the broken. Just put them under the rug, out of the way. That's what we do. Don't try to fix anything. Don't learn from our past. Out of sight out of mind.

made me think of the recycling, this is a strange mix of oddities, I enjoyed where this took me and all the poetry...
