Random Observations #2


Full-time four wheeled drive system takes day off. 
Fridge talks to me in quiet of early morning.
Click,
Click,
Tick,
Whirrrr!
Mr Smith forgets his cup.
Radio plays song,
wakes ghosts of times past.
In haste, 
man spills coffee.
Drops of rain touch my face
as the road climbs sharply in front of me.
Traffic lights change.

(Haiku)

Move whilst your body
is able to move; think whilst your mind will allow. 

Let The Side Down

The sharp lines of his car.
Its masculine,
snarling presence.
It's low nose and 'road-munching' tyres,
didn't match the scruffy, 'trackie-bottoms',
'trainers' and 'cheap T-shirt' look.

His choice of 'fast-food' venue,
as he stuffed the bins with endless wrappers,
burger trays,
bags and drink cups,
sort of let the side down too!

Did You?

Did you see the man run across the sky today?
Did you see the fish get up then just walk away?
Did you share the sun,
did you hear it shine?
Did you taste its story once upon a time?

Did you see the bird driving in his car today?
Did you watch the grass find a
different place to lay?
Did you see it grow,
did you draw its pain?
When the grass was cut,
in the pouring rain?

Did you touch reward?
Did you see its joy?
Did you see the girl,
playing with the boy?
Did you see them shout,
did you hear them hide?
Did you see them happy,
happiness inside?

Did you hear my words written on a page today?
Did you get the message I was trying to convey?
Did they wash your soul,
did they draw a smile?
Did they make you stop for a little while?

Or did you see the man,
or did you see the bird?
Did you touch reward and can you say that you heard?

...Did you?

Rabbit Eats Lettuce

Lettuce eats rabbit!
Parcel delivers man.
Car washes man.
Wind breaks man.
Mask forgets man.

Stick chews dog!
Bottle smashes lady.
Red wears lady.
Cigarette smokes lady.
Coffee drinks lady.

Nail hits hammer!
Book writes author.
Paintings create artists.
Car fixes mechanic.
Window cleans bloke.

A boy stings a wasp.

Bloke cleans window.
Mechanic fixes car.
Artists create paintings.
Author writes book.
...Hammer hits a nail.

Lady drinks coffee.
Lady smokes cigarette.
Lady wears red.
Lady smashes bottle.
...Dog chews a stick.

Man forgets mask.
Man 'breaks wind'.
Man washes car.
Man delivers parcel.

...And Rabbits eat lettuce. 

In A Forest

If you're in a forest 
and the cashier is wearing a mask...
How do you know the mask has been there all the time?
