Spoon

Spoon

A Poem by C. Michael Kirre
"

Apart from the knife, the spoon is probably the oldest man-made tool.

"

I dropped a spoon this morning.

It clanged on the stone floor

and I thought to myself,

why am I such a f*****g failure?

I can’t even hold on to a spoon.

Even the smallest things are too big for me to handle.

If I can’t hold on to a spoon,

how can I ever be expected to hold on to a girl?

If a spoon is too much for me,

how can I possibly handle responsibility?

If a spoon is a too complex a device for me to operate,

how can I ever try to understand the world around me?

If I can be beaten by a spoon,

how will I ever win?

 

 

But then again, it’s just a f*****g spoon.
