"It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him." J.R.R. Tolkien


The world is just a bunch of
forks and spoons and knives:
washed and rewashed
the meth heads eating with
the big tycoons
'cause the waitress,
in her scuffed white keds
(her eyeshadow a shade of dayglo)
is a bit like God, leveling the ground
with her objective coffee refills.
The tax collectors and the prostitutes,
the woman at the well and the one
caught in adultery,
the starving artists and mailmen and teachers,
all of them eating in the
same sun-warmed booth,
with the same
chipped cups.

*insert Pochahontas here* "Because we are all connected to each other, in a circle, in a hoop that never ends!!!!" And also because I said so, so there ;)

I think I just found a little piece of truth wrapped in a tortilla shaped like life. And it is this poem.
