noted
first post since school got out… not much to say really… except don’t forget to wash behind your ears!
TLK
The dreary dullness of the days
Makes time waft by on the slowest of breezes
The tedium adds friction to effortless
Non-participation…
So as I sit on the back porch
The crickets chirping all about
The smoke lazily plays through the air
And the silence is undeniable
So I watch as the lizard
Crawls ever so slowly towards me
They were always there, and
Yet I’d never paid much attention
Ever so slowly
I think of all the things that
Have happened in this house
The births in the family
The deaths of relationships and people
The burning emotions
And the serene togetherness at times
And still I cannot make sense of it all
Ever so slowly
The tedium has been like this
The slow march of time and progress
That never seems to get anywhere
And yet we watch and wait
Intent and expectorant over somethings that may never be
Ever so slowly
The lizard creeps up to my hand
And crawls aboard to see what it can see
Then bites me
Lizards don’t have teeth! my mind outrages
Somehow it manages to quiet down enough
that I start to feel the pain,
I look and see the little bugger still there
I reach down to smash ‘is ass
But the grip releases and I am alone
Ever so slowly
I become
I am
The Lizard-King
