The Crackling

[miyako73]

After these,
My last ones,
What shall I do?
Should I trace the veins of the rose
Or connect the blinking stars?
Should I look for the lost penny
Or watch the cleaning infomercials?
Should I count the even backwards
Or recite the long prayer with no end?
Should I touch the stucco walls
Or run my fingers on the wood grains?
Should I smell the old gas oven
Or pick the drying leaves of cilantro?
Should I google my complete name
Or read the yellow pages of the phonebook?
Should I eat the rice krispies one by one
Or search the whole pepper in my pasta?
Should I read the book about birds
Or imagine the azure ocean?
What Shall I do
After popping these?
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Oooh I did not know that popping bubble wrap could give one such creative insight. Imagine me there, popping them with you!

[miyako73]

:) Just having fun with my boredom.

[Delta40]

your expression of boredom is impressive.

[angliholic]

very imaginative and creative!

I thought there was more to this than boredom, and t sounded more like the foil wrapping being broken off some tablets than the popping of bubble-wrap..... maybe that's the way my warped mind works.

But the poem is genuinely original, wry, bizarre and so true to life. You have a real talent.
