Surroundings

Clutter.
The mind cluttered
My shelves cluttered
My boxes
Neat
Yet
Cluttered
With comforts I've placed upon myself
Overwhelmingly
Cluttered
With those possible things
Physical
Social
Mental
Which I begged to need
Just to avoid the knowledge
I really didn't
Need or want the clutter of true
Existence.

It is my new winter
My changing year
A chance to disrobe my inequities...

I wonder if I can find an amazing sale?

Pompeii Conversations

Some people never know when to shut up...

"Pompeii Conversations"

On and on you go
Your lips exercising about.
You make a few good points
Cause me to think for a moment
But you won't shut up...

I need a moment of silence
To take things in
Dissect the abundant characters
Spewing from your Vesuvius
You so eloquently informed me
Erupts due to your uncomfortable nature...

Just a moment
To be sure
I'm not listening to a recording
To remind myself
That at some point
I found something
Anything
Intriguing about you
And there is more to you
As our Pompeii
Slowly
Methodically
Drowns in your molten wake
