just a short ebay-inspired poem

So, we tap on weird little things called computers

to buy stuff we’ve never seen from people we’ll most

likely not meet until at least year 1, 459, 397, 682.

Kinda like in the days of butter artisans when Hilda,

Dot and Mary Katherine with their silver silk bustles

a-swishing, didst order from les grands catalogs.

Gold hair clips often. And mirrors made from melted sand

and the dust of wind-whipped chariots of uncorseted desire.

And seeds, oh yes – seeds whose children keep on singing.

My Open Link Tuesday share for this week of dVerse.

whooohoooooooooooooooooooooooo.

xooxxo

Oh, and funny what you’ll find when you Google “Victorian Seed Packets…”

The Red Crazy Straw

A lady out walking her hounds yesterday

did spot quite a treat on the ground where it lay.

The red crazy straw – tho in beat-up condition

to some of her things makes a stunning addition.

her roses,

her toeses,

her hound,

her guitar,

– look how utterly enhanced they now are.

See how the straw sets off a picture.

See it enhance her dining room fixture.

Just how lucky can one human be –

To have such a treasure for eternity?

~~ THE END ~~

You ever find any such awesome treasure on the side of the road?

And thanks all for your well wishes on my whiney last post, when I was feeling sick.

I’m feeling “almost normal” today.    And I hope you are too!

Now back to guitar on a new song, “Everybody’s Beautiful”

as in…

Everybody’s beautiful
Just the way we are
Everybody’s made of love
And little bits of stars
Everybody’s beautiful
Everybody shines, from the
Light we’re all created from
Brighter all the time…
