Why They Padded the Walls

The cleaner complained.

The saddest part
of thinking it's funny
to waste everything
is just after
it's all gone.

Hah - you know how to party methinks - but I could be wrong and this is entirely ecstasy free.
Funny how we suddenly ration the last of a feast.
I like this human observation style Brett.

[emmajoy]

no pauses, no punctuation, read it as it appears
no apology given for one's own interpretation?

[Brett Hernan]

The fallout can be brutal. (I'm still laughing, though!)
No apology required, nothing but thanks for your critique.

[lildexty]

this poem is wonderfully simple, effective, and true

[Brett Hernan]

...and so is your welcome comment. I am pleased you've absorbed it. The worst part of being a writer of ideas is that inevitably you are made dumb. The best part is that perhaps you'll be long gone by then!
