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!
