The lighter side



Why does everything taste like chicken?

I look for you in the ads
every Wednesday
and dash to the market
when I see they have adverts for
pieces of you

But they lie, those ads.
The brains they listed
are not yours but
ugly pink and grey
dead things
wrapped in cellophane

Not alive with humor or
barbed with wit
and deliciously delectable
parrying
challenging every conversation.

And that heart
so small
stuffed into a package
with so many others
so cold
no pulse
no love

Definitely not yours

Nor those breast and thighs
remotely comparable
sickly small things
awaiting a stew pot
nothing sensuous
nothing stirring.
Nothing alive.
Not dancing and singing
But lying dead and cold in their case
Instead of
merrily in love with me.

Nothing Beats a Shower.

Nothing quite beats a shower in the evening.
The last chore of the fading day.
A time to stand under the pulse of nature
blasting away at the accumulated dirt
eroding cares
carrying into the Oblivion of the drain
the turmoil
and sins of the day
and under that welcome and invited pressure
we stand and relax
and cast sighs into the steam
as muscles
assaulted by heat
unwind,
relax from the threat of the day
and allow us to contemplate sleep.

But there is nothing that beats
that first thing in the morning
Shower.
Standing in porcelain
soap suds fly
from skin and scalp
and we crinkle a brow
or two
as we assume the challenges facing us
in this new dawn
often forgetting to be thankful
that we have yet another chance
to so stand
catching those echoing few morsels
of last night’s dream.
We follow a wandering mind
skidding through the steam
racing as again
revisiting a memories of youth.
But perhaps even now,
like then,
the shower is nothing more
than an excuse
to run naked through my memories.



Just because you have silenced a man does not mean you have changed his mind.

I will never look at the meat department the same again.

As for the shower - mine is a long hot soak in the bath tub with scents and candle light.

Mext time I take a shower I'll bring a piece of meat with me. If I'm going to be all wet, I might as well be able to eat it too!

Seriously... very few people here think before they speak, I find it refreshing to discover something new. It's outstanding,

My daughter told she doesn't care to go out because it's such a "Meat Market". So that's what she was talking about. I think I might become a vegetarian. LOL
