Zodiac

by V. Blake

i am a walking awkward silence.

an origami heart
for a prosthetic soul,
and an encyclopedic knowledge
of wasted potential.

the very notion
that everyone on earth
is not screaming constantly
will confound my little intellect
until the day i die--

sitting in silence,
wondering if the stars
make their decisions
based on alignments
of people below them.

I like the write Vince. I must chuckle at the number of people that don't realize their movements affect how the distant stars move.

I sure like that second stanza. And I am apparently an Aries also - it was about time to eliminate that headline poem in my library anyway.

Very good...

Hey, I'm an Aries now too - my morning paper just told me so! And I'm bullish on the notion [wishing my psyche would change right along with the earth's wobble.] Anyways, nice write Vince, as usual. You have a fairly amazing knack for putting together a good poem.

some foreign race of beings is out there wondering what just happened right along with us.

My human brain loves this. My Virgo tendencies kind of hate it. lol. Nicely done.

I'm still an Aquarius, through and through.

That last stanza is dead on and brilliant. Thank you!

Both of my Gemini twins enjoyed this immensely! The last five lines really say it all.
