cynicism & sarcasm

 

Gray sky. Rain
For the crops and
Trees. There are
Two seasons here in
The Sacramento Valley,
One is dry and
The other one is wet.
This
I understand, and
So do the walnuts
And the tomatoes.

We could have saved the earth but we were too damned cheap.

Kurt Vonnegut

There are parts that displease
Me. Parts of my life. Of myself.
I am taking those parts in to be
Recycled. I am letting the hard parts
Go. The cynicism. The sarcasm.
How much of what I say
Would go better left unsaid.
A fair amount, certainly.
I should reset my life priorities.
For example, the entire time
I have been writing these dark words
There has been two flower arrangements
Right in front of me and I only noticed
Just now.
