New Month Crapoem, 4


I have no idea what is going on with the formatting of these blog posts, but I have decided to stop getting wound up by it all and just plough on regardless...

 

So - Another poem:

I haven't really decided whether this one is a collection of mini-odes written in a list, or one big rambling poem...

 

Two thousand years and counting.

How much progress has been made?

Eight billion souls searching for answers.

Dreams more important than air.

 

I look at the Summer sky.

I feel the Summer rain.

I wish for a Summer romance.

Futile.

 

Daylight penetrates the darkened windows.

A soldier, undressed, mourns his lost rifle.

Twins, distanced by different adoptions, experience simultaneous toothache.

I watch, exasperated, as my child's ice cream melts to the floor.
