Premium Member Things

The items purchased, we feel are needed

Having them makes life complete

Interesting finds here and there

Now they are old, worn, well-used

Going, going, gone

Salvageable No!

Premium Member Seven Salvageable Things

My house 
soon to be
at the mercy 
of a catastrophic fire

the likelihood 
of salvaging 
everything
infinitesimal to nil. 

Given a choice 
to make off 
with just seven things,
I'd choose, 
in no particular order...

1. Family album
2. Keys
3. Cell Phone
4. Wallet
5. Computer
6. Flash Drive
7. Wedding Photo

Premium Member Stop Thinking

Sure life is a disappointment, but is it menial?
Salvageable? Palpable? Tolerable?
My brain waves are pondering this.
I am not a philosopher or anything,
yet here I am, thinking again.
Stop thinking! Society tells me.
Follow the status quo.
I am making up my mind.
Let me have a minute.
Life is menial for sure. 
I am menial.
You are menial.
Oops.
Sorry.
Did not mean you, Mom!

No Supper

No Supper

Round as a planet, dark as the galaxy
the interior looked like the last battle in Verdun
the early spring of 1914.
It had been a healthy preparation of carrots, beans
turnips, potatoes and meat.
Scorched earth tactic nothing was salvageable.
There had been warnings but human insouciance
ignored the smell emitting filling rooms 
with the bitterness of a failed supper.
The last question is, can the frying pan be saved?
