Icy
7/8/17
Many things did and didn't surprise me
Among objects of a colossus size or tiny
Some of which dark and others shiny
Whether it occurred around afternoon or nightly
Done foolishly and wisely
Areas hot or icy
Items marked as cheap or pricy
Food that is mild or spicy
People nearly dead or lively
Opportunities that have no risk or are dicey
Near forest with or without ivy
Some didn't care and others did when it came to being all high and mighty
Nearly full or empty
So god damn wealthy or down to the last penny
Sickly or healthy
Whether older or younger than twenty
With a hand that is shaky or steady
Not at all prepared or ready
With or without a machete
Whether or not it had to do with something light or heavy
It was carried out incorrectly or effectively
Areas considered clean or messy
On either side of the eddy
Close and beyond what is deemed safe or deadly
