Take care of the quisinart - 55

-
Sacred, sparkling,
pristine, and white,
labeled with too much
care….. or neglect?

Stained, sticky,
scummy, stinky,
under-washed,
but cared-about usefulness!

Shiny, polished,
glassy, sterile,
unused, neglected,
disregarded?

Chopping
with loving gusto,
with excess
wantonness!

The scales tip,
unbalanced.
Kindly, attentively,
noting the soil,

caress it to
a smooth rebirth,
in a moment
of balancing regard.


(this should be titled, "cleaning up the creative mess" but that's too crass)

  3. I create messes all the time. It is one of my worst habits. It seems too that for a guy who never plans beyond today i would have time to clean them up...naw I just leave them lay on the lawn and let them decompose and deconstruct to nothingness. Less effort involved and I never cut my hand on that damn blade.

    wantonness!"!
