Large spoons

Screw you,

unimportant too-big spoon for my coffee.

I open the drawer

to remind myself you're not quite right.

Thank goodness

it took me only once to realize,

and not the ongoing theme

of seven years.

I'm learning to be wildly inappropriate, ridiculous, needy - and alive.

Thank you so much for all the support!

You had me laughing from the very first, then laughing at myself as I recognized me in every single last line. "And not the ongoing theme of seven year"--perfectly punctuating this inner monologue with, I'm guessing, a soup spoon. (I don't even like using them for soup, even though people are always telling me I've got a big mouth!)

Daahlink Lisa ~ You Go-Girl "Gag me with a Spoon" {60's Colloquial Expression} Your "Whole Bunch of Maybes" resonates with me! It Is your 'Calling Card' a part of your charm. Be~You; a very good thing. Ooh, for someone to say what you may write is "Dumb"...Is just Dumb! *I often don't know what I'm writing, as evidenced by my 'Alter~Ego'..we relate as 'metaphor' writers; my pleasure! - Vocal Authors Community - Jay Kantor, Chatsworth, California 'Senior' Vocal Author
