PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I may not be 'productive' these days.
I might be meditative instead--
or, ruminative, or appreciative.

Or maybe, if my feelings need a rest,
I may just seem vacuous.

Here's a secret: vacuous means our
feelings are fighting off an infection.
It's a secret from us.
Here's why it must be kept from us;
We'd interfere. None of us has a license
yet to drive our own feelings, so we
get chauffeured, by societal norms, I suspect.

FYI, existential feelings are kept the deepest
secret from us. Nobody's going near THAT
live volcano! Me, I'm a volcano guide.....
I know the pattern enough to keep us safe

Avoid the lava. Examine the basalt.
