Screw you,
unimportant too-big spoon for my coffee.
-
I open the drawer
to remind myself you're not quite right.
-
Thank goodness
it took me only once to realize,
-
and not the ongoing theme
of seven years.

The Silence That Follows
“Silence is not the absence of something but the presence of everything . . . It is the presence of time, undisturbed. It can be felt within the chest. Silence nurtures our nature, our human nature, and lets us know who we are. Left with a more receptive mind and a more attuned ear, we become better listeners not only to nature but to each other. Silence can be carried like embers from a fire. Silence can be found, and silence can find you. Silence can be lost and also recovered. But silence cannot be imagined, although most people think so. To experience the soul-swelling wonder of silence, you must hear it.”― Gordon Hempton

You had me laughing from the very first, then laughing at myself as I recognized me in every single last line. "And not the ongoing theme of seven year"--perfectly punctuating this inner monologue with, I'm guessing, a soup spoon. (I don't even like using them for soup, even though people are always telling me I've got a big mouth!)
Daahlink Lisa ~ You Go-Girl "Gag me with a Spoon" {60's Colloquial Expression} Your "Whole Bunch of Maybes" resonates with me! It Is your 'Calling Card' a part of your charm. Be~You; a very good thing. Ooh, for someone to say what you may write is "Dumb"...Is just Dumb! *I often don't know what I'm writing, as evidenced by my 'Alter~Ego'..we relate as 'metaphor' writers; my pleasure! - Vocal Authors Community - Jay Kantor, Chatsworth, California 'Senior' Vocal Author
