    a breakfast poem

    A Little Thought

    Like flipping ones eggs in the pan, delicately,  to retain the yolk
    That gentle fracture of the yolk, it was, before she mis-spoke
    A seemingly minor impulse, as I stroked, a waggling chin
    Allowing purchase to take hold, thoughts, choking, a sudden win
    Neck invoked awkwardly, an awkward silence allowed
    Neither knowing what to say, what other acts would follow
    I look out, across the sea of possibilities, a thought takes hold
    Upon some whim, my life is shaped, regale the hope, I`m told
    Are all acts, both big and small, delicate and rough
    Truly our own, or made from other, whimsical stuff
    Perhaps we, all of us, are but one, somebody`s daydream
    No more real than the puff of thought, unworthy scream
    As insignificant as nervous nerves, that lumber
    From a grudgey God deep in slumber

    A well written poem with good meter. Thanks for sharing!

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
