Entry 38--AKA: "Sensitive to words lately."

You change the equation that I add up to
And all of the things that I thought I knew
You turn it around
I'm amazed
--"Amazing" by Poe

I stay
focused on details
they help me from feeling
the big things.
But watch
the microscope long enough
things that seem still
are still changing.
--"Still" by Ben Folds

This is Just to Say

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

--"This is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams

Lately, my ear for songs and poetry has become very sensitive. I like it, but it's hard to stop thinking about it.

I have to admit, I like it. It's just distracting. Strange how things work out sometimes.
