I played with some big thoughts today.
Nudged them forward
The way I might kick a
stray
bottle on the street,
Its torn wrapper flapping with the brisk wind:
A corporate flag.
The thoughts bounced forward
the ridged edges clattering as they rolled.
It's funny how everybody is going to die but nobody knows what it's like.
Clunk
That's like the worst surprise party ever.
Clunk
Knowledge of our insignificance is an awfully big burden.
Clunk
I had it all lined up.
I was going to sift through the murky abyss
Tossing aside debris,
and triumphantly produce a dusty piece of wisdom.
It was going to be deep, man.
But then I went downstairs,
And there were kittens wandering around my living room.
So maybe it's going to be OK.
