Sans Camera

Well I'm still without a digital camera (without a scanner it is so terribly expensive and time consuming to transfer 35MM to digital, *sigh*), so here's some poetry that woke me up at 3:30am this morning (good thing it is gardening day).


There are days I have wanted to melt away
Like an abandoned ice cream on a hot summer day
For my body to fade, leaving only my eyes to see
If anyone notices the disappearance of me
Would I blend into the landscape
Absorbing the flora like syrup poured on a warm, fluffy pancake
Or like wearing a chameleon skin suit
With matching camouflage buttons to boot
Or like playing peek-a-boo
Where closed eyes mean you can't see me cause I can't see you
Yet, absently walking among my people as if neither of us exists
Will leave me with a lackluster view of the human experience

Go forth and commune with the people!!
