The glowstick and the disco ball

Just some things in my car

The glowstick
And the disco ball
Hanging from my rearview mirror
Bouncing back and forth
Bringing joy when I draw near
These items that were gifts
From those who sought joy
Remind me to be happy
As they light up
My world, oh boy
For these items are silly
And remi d me to be at ease
The glowstick
And the disco ball
Bring me peace

I enjoy the absence of stress or conflict. Just upbeat observations on slightly exciting objects and how subtle, but effective, their impact can be.

This made me smile for some reason. :)

You're missing an "n" but otherwise this is a good poem. It gives a little, but not much insight. What else brings you peace?

[Jessica]

Did not even notice, in posting from my phone

[Jessica]

Peace comes in many different forms. I love to sit outside on a quiet spring day and look at how green the grass is. Also I sometimes become a cat in my car and push the glowstick back and forth

[t.m.]

It's all good. I was trying make light or convey some trademark snark.

[Jessica]

Lol, nice. I'm glad the snarkiness is back

[t.m.]

Cats are cool. Walking is a good way to have a little peace, too.

[Jessica]

Yep, I'm trying to start walking down to this cool park with sculptures in it every day starting Wednesday

[t.m.]

I thought about doing that and exploring my city better but then I figured I shouldn't.

[Jessica]

Why? You should know where you live

[t.m.]

Because someone else was there first. And I'd hate to accidentally run into them and ruin something that was theirs first.

[Jessica]

Sometimes people are glad that someone else can find peace with the same stuff. You can't ruin a place

[t.m.]

I get that but I don't think they'd want to run into me. I'm pretty horrible.

[Jessica]

You don't seem horrible

[Jessica]

I don't believe you are horrible, it just seems like you have a lot going on

[t.m.]

I am. Plus, like I said, they probably wouldn't want to run into me. (Although I actually have a commission for that park)

[Jessica]

A commission? What's that? Also, you never know

[t.m.]

like a commission to do an art piece based on the pieces at the park. And I'd know if humans weren't so vague

[Jessica]

I rock at being vague

[t.m.]

Well knock it off for ten seconds and be slightly less vague lol

[Jessica]

Can't, you just have to figure it out lol

[t.m.]

Why? Be mildly less vague. I mean, you don't haaaave to, but it'd be nice...

[Jessica]

I'll be there on Wednesday morning

[t.m.]

Is that you being mildly less vague?

[Jessica]

Yep it is indeed

[t.m.]

Someone might be there working on a commission possibly around then

[Jessica]

I bet it will be a great piece of art

[t.m.]

Maybe. Who knows though
