Express Yourself

Be who you are and say how you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Lines of Red-2013

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

I'd like to see you flat line
disappear
Just leave me alone
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?
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
