The world, of course,
is a feast to be eaten.
Everywhere we are,
is a wild garden
of dripping fruit, ripe
on the vine, easily
plucked and sucked
upon, sweet and sticky,
something you smell
as you walk along
with your devices,
your infinite menus,
with which you call
up the next course,
and the next, delivered
to your door, an
on-demand avalanche
of blinding delights,
designed for every
palate, every region
of the tongue. So much
to consume, one
hardly ever moves.
And isn't it easy
to become the meat,
the fatty treat that the
world around us eats?
So the purpose of this blog is to be a space to practice creativity. I am currently using it as a place to record a single, unedited poem for each day in 2019. While I attempt to write everyday, I may not actually post daily. Instead, I will post poems as they are completed, but one for everyday of the year. Not sure I can make it, but we'll see. It's fun to try regardless :)
