Undulating Emotions

Undulating emotions 
are encircling all around
Discomboblating and muffling 
the impression of sounds
Retarding the stillness
of abiding on smooth ground

It's like:

What do?
I do?

Do I
Take a walk  
worn down
unshining
strapping on
buckled high
heeled shoe
bling

Or do I 
Sit with
drooping butt
reading 
unfortunate news
of their bust 
out of luck

Do I 
Flail
amid flustering 
dropping  the
glass breaking 
pieced together 
anew rule?

Or do I 
Watch 
returning episodes
of Cops  busting out
laughing inside 
an inebriation with
broken down 
old fools?

Do I dye
the endings of 
my pink hair
looking in
reflective mirrors
with a vanity
in wear?

Or do I
Pick apart 
those strolling 
around town
of unkempt
bare faced  ugly
wearing cloths
horribly bent

Do I
Write  poems
not punching
time clocks 
at work
involved in
artistically lyrical
musings of
attention grabbing

Or do I
Pic apart 
someone's art
painting on 
canvas stealing
brushes 
streaking
fire  igniting
criticism
unmatched

Undulating emotions 
are encIrcing all around
Discomboblating and muffling
the impressions of sound
Retarding the stillness
of abiding on smooth ground

Thanks Linda. Your picture reminds me of the new song about peter pan and the lost boys playing in the woods.A natural and organic soul.
