OhmA Poem by Debbie
Ohm… They tell you stupid things Like Everything has its reason Mantras I could wring my neck like a chicken With so much deep breathing My feathers already plucked to the point I am redfaced, ashamed of how tactless I speak Shaking my finger at the oil companies And anyone else who emerges in the mail as so Much extra paper I have to throw out, then collect back again from the bin, Shred meticulously, and then back to the bin again Because someone might think they need to be me… Chopra move over I was trying to only take a nap And there you come in With your eight to ten glasses of water Smelling organic You’re only going to get older anyway Leave me alone with my cabernet And oils under my fingers And the moon shining under the sill like a thief I like the way love sneaks in When I think I am nearly unwilling I like the sun on my shoulders I don’t think of the melanoma Melancholy is an easy dance partner When the day becomes too long and There isn’t hardly enough chocolate in the Cupboard to count…. © 2008 Debbie |
