PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Have you got your ears on,

The world is talking again and I'll be damned

if you don't have your ears on,

I was watching the T.V. and it came calling,

I could hear the whispers of a life coach

telling me to not worry so much

and to get the hell up and be somebody,

Be somebody that helps others

and stop worrying so much on yourself,

In helping others you take care of yourself

the world told me,

I took my ears off and thought about it,

I walked in to my room and laid my skin down

closed my eyes and tried to accept these notions,

I breath in and feel the argon in the air

slip past my nose hairs and fill my lungs with

the most ancient oxygen

all recycled by paragons of our age and

strange beasts of an older era,

The vibrations of cars outside were muffled

by the slow passage of our planet through

our space time elliptical orbit around a ball of fire

too big to imagine with my tiny mind,

I sat there with no skin

Laid there with no ears

and I felt for the first time an inkling

of Life
