Boot-foot and Bug

Boot-Foot and Bug

©By Vijaya Sundaram

April 8th, 2013

Emotion comes and goes

A storm that seems so strong

Once it’s over, it’s done.

I know it, but do they?

I dislike emotion.

An annoyance it is,

A silly distraction,

A pointless indulgence.

All that bursting, bleeding

Self-serving sentiment,

A foolish, maudlin thought

That the world really cares.

Somewhere a bug dies in

Terrible pain killed by

A monstrous boot-foot which

Does not care or know it.

Better to just crawl off

Fly away, flee away

Right out of that boot-foot.

Avoid, avoid that foot!

~~~~~~~~~~~The End~~~~~~~~~~~~

P.S. This is all I could come up with today.  No wise words, no deep-fried descriptions, no universal truths, no lush language.  Today is Spartan fare.  That’s all, folks!
