Lines of Red
Don't know where this is going. Don't really care at all. Just want to get something down cause something is itching to come out. I mean the ideas fly here and there and sometimes no where at all. The thing for me is just to get them down and then decide where, what and how they will go. Crystal Allen said in her luncheon that she writes for 4 hours a day. It doesn't matter what it is but she has to keep it going. I think I am going to try that too. I know I have tons peculating in the mind and then....it depends on me.
So what's going on? I hate those stupid squiggly lines of red that invade my space without the slightest permission. They are red and totally offensive. I would like to have possibly a green squiggly lines. That would remind me my Boston Celtics and life would be grand. But then again since they got bounced I am not in the least excited about the playoffs. They are rather bland. Super duped 4 scooper bland. Here they go again those squiggling obnoxious and toxious lines. I sometimes just spell incorrectly for the purpose of ticking them off. Oh, well such is life in the big city.
Lines in Red
by Maureen Ucles
Why do you invade my space?
Walk in without knocking
Shocking me
Glaring into my mind
thoughts and messing up my flow
my roll
slowing me down
to a snail's stroll?
You stupid scarlet
pervasive
annoying
IRS- bullying
lines
time is up
give it a rest
please
get a life of your own
Leave me alone
Why don't 'cha just go home
Stay away
Like the rain on
opening day
Stay away
Leave me be
To
let it all out
Words flying off the page
or two or three
Then you show
With your provocative squiggles
more like giggles
parading in front of me
on a path
like an EKG clown
lines running up and down
without a care
you stalk and snare
without a care
you stalk and snare
I'd like to see you flat line
disappear
Just leave me alone
with your jagged edged mountain views
shadowing my every move
with your jagged edged mountain views
shadowing my every move
so obtrusive
never elusive
you are
Your lines of the ABC
keep sneering back
at me
with the gregarious green check
looking so perky
rather pitiful, putrid
need I say
jerky?
jerky?
leave me
just leave me
to
think
create
words of my own
make my very path
lines sometimes straight
others to wherever
I deem
I will be
what I want
Now what you testify
to be
you believe it's
your ridiculous right
to investigate
rather scrutinize
my every word
line or syllable
You are a pit bull
a hound
on my scent
regretfully
there I am
from day to day
trying to escape
from your grasp
locked jaw and all
can't seem to flee
and be free
once and for all
just me
Hey, how about
you do you
and I do me?
Some place else
In a galaxy far, far
to infinity
We must part
like yesterday or last year
now
Get out of my life
I'm just too tired
gulping down the last
cup of coffee
with the grinds
stuck in my teeth
hanging out
on the roof of my mouth
Now you
go on
let go
of
your
controlling
manipulative
lines
in the red
