Poems from the last week-ish

[pippin85]

I.
As long as I focus on you
and NOT the stuff you carry
I am fine
But factor in the watch
the suit
the shoes
and I am scared
-witless

But give me you and
I am better than fine
more than ok
more fabulous, than fabulous
I am happy shining and free

II.
like to watch them
movements timed
folding napkins
chopping salad
big block of feta out
face grows red, great hands
squeeze the cheese
limestone crumbles fall
hand full mix the
salad one knife one hand

comes home smelling of
olive oil and feta
-a faraway dream of guitars and pipes

III.
Sara has a problem with reality
it daunts her
it taunts her
it wants to flaunt her

Sara has a problem with reality
it ebbs and flows
weaving its way
spotty

Sara has a problem with reality
real feeling unreal
dreams more real than real
reality a dream
