The word “striking” has multiple meanings, both beautiful and violent.
I might tell you your beauty is striking; although subjective, I seem to think you’re favorable.
“Nothing is me” Mundane says
Universal nature chants “my life acquiescence" in blooming rays.
The cold side of a pillow
is magic, waiting to happen
The condensation of a coke can
is disturbing in drips
The salt of the air
Education
Boredom slowly creeps upon me,
Like a fog on top a hill.
My eyes start glazing over,
my eyes stretch the horizon...
the cigarette burns quicker as I drag the smoke deeper in my lungs
I ponder the events of this week
my wanderings, where are you?
We could be so busy
so consumed by the world around us
the trivial matters
the mistakes and arguments and resentments
we could be consumed
And drained by the mundane every day life
They go through their motions numbly
Like stiff, rickety robots without a care
They move through their actions dumbly
Like they could honestly be anywhere
Yet here I stand watching them numbly
