Literature Text

linear steel forms
with fabric the color of sleep
festooned with images
of colorful animation
thumbtacks become currency
red staplers a humorous rarity
where documents roam wild
only questionably inspirational
depictions of scenery
mark the boundary
between frivolity and duty
ironic guru icon
with lively necktie
reminds my boredom
that life may also
mimic art
as a window mocks
with sunlit temptation
a stop gap submission. someone asked me if I derived inspiration from my job, since I write most of my stuff on breaks and lunch. I replied that I get my inspiration from escaping into the realm of imagination. like little vacations, with words and imagery. these two poems are part of an experiment in my changing poetic voice, trying to derive inspiration from something I find spiritually draining, interesting what words can do. :) (Smile) I hope you enjoy!

These two poem are great companion pieces, but also work well individually, the slow, laid back, dreary style of this I find more pleasant that the mania found in After Coffee.
