Meditation

by Jim Benz

Have your apprehensions ever been
a yodeling cowbird, a rip
in the pants of reason? I was standing on my hands
getting lucky
with a rabbit foot harpoon. I felt omnipotent
like a Juno chardonnay, Mr. Johnny in the ice box,
completely undrinkable. The sour
toes of a lemming danced across my tongue and leaped
into the eyelash of a cheap foreboding.
I knew the answer to this riddle once, I really did,
but my ethos fell to pieces.

I think mediation is the answer here - reading this whilst exfoliating made my sediments roar with aftermath, and my fruit stand bend. I hear there's a contract out on this one...

I LOVE THIS PIECE!! Chocked full of imagery, wit, and humor even...so much here to taste and chew...my favorite part: "The sour/ toes of a lemming danced across my tongue and leaped/ into the eyelash of a cheap foreboding."...worth reading again and again...a pleasure as always...peace n happy writings, jewels xxx
