Scribblage from my journal: round 26, weeks 9 & 12

*~*~*~

Irony

I wish I could think deeply,
like I used to.
But poetry isn't about thinking deeply;
poetry is feeling deeply.

It is ironic the word "irony" has "iron" in it.
Is it because hot iron melts?
Because it bends?

Irony is bent.

Eyes Are Everywhere

It's such a crazy world.
And then,
there is
my life
in Velcro.

I have felt the eyes upon me.
I no longer care how odd I might look.
I really no longer care.

I don't understand how someone can have a migraine and still work.
Maybe mine are a mix of
migraine,
nerve damage,
and hormone dump.

I wonder if I can read this later.

I am a goldfish swimming for the rainbow.
