Autumn

[fayefaye]

Huddled over a bland hot chocolate. Jeans and a long black jacket in a cafe by the lake, staring at the ducks. Orange-red leaves, crisp and falling off the trees, spiral to the ground when dead. Silently. Windswept beaches, turbid, tumultuous water..... drab, grey skies. Rain that appears out of nowhere and catches me off guard. The words of a love song, lost on the breeze. A rubber turkey sandwich. A clock on the wall that freezes time-
just for a second. And outside it's already getting dark, stars obscured by streetlights.
'did you enjoy your meal, miss?'
'yes.... it was great'



I was typing in general chat, I wanted to start a thread about rainy days... ended up with this and figured people'd find it weird in 'general chat' so cut and pasted it here. So it lives here now. Irrelevant and out of place, but oh well.

well if you went on a new line every sentence, it would be like a poem (at least mine are like that ;))
i like the shortness...you have the gift of synthesis it seems :)

irrelevant and irreverant is a joy to read, faye! don't be silly. :)

lol, I just tried putting in lines to 'poemise' it, but I had no idea where to put them... so it stays as is. :)

The best literature, poetry or otherwise, is irrelavent and irreverant. Or at least the best to read, the most enjoyable. In my opinion. Not that anyone cares. But at least I tried. I mean, you can take that as a compliment. And the images... And it wasnt a classic poem, but... It read like one. Very methodical, I loved it, and closure at the end.
