Improv Poetry Tuesday

This is where I type whatever comes into my head and publish it without analyzing the deeper meaning or consequences. Enjoy.

Love,

Wear + Tear.

I've got no sympathy

for the symphony

that's playing on my heart strings

my heart stings

I'd like things

to stay the way they are

I've got no melancholy

Just a better body

Than my mind that's spinning records

unwritten records

I'd like things

to change in every way

I've got no time or space

to linger at your place

You're playing with my every want

I need more

I'd like things

to evolve and sway

I've got no syllables

nothing is simple

no consonants or vowels

I'll vow it

I'd like things

to stay the way they are 

Tuck away your flaps [ a poem ]

A very long time ago, when I was in primary school, 

there was a rule to override all rules

A rule that was broken more often than not

A rule enforced when the weather was hot

A rule to make kids feel so very uncool

A rule made by governments, and teachers and fools

For we all knew that lunch time was the best part of the day

We all watched the hands of the clock tick away

We yearned for the teacher to alert us and say

Lunchtime! 

NO HAT NO PLAY!

We'd all grab our lunchboxes and sit in the shade

Scoff down our sandwiches and get ready to play

But the teachers did scorn us and in unison say

NO HAT NO PLAY!

Now hats aren't for everyone, but when you're a kid you obey

You don't mind wearing a hat if it means you can play

But when the hat has a flap you feel stupid and lame

You'd tuck away your flaps, trying to get away

Without being seen by the teacher on duty

That matronly bitch with no style, grace or beauty

But she'd catch you out quickly and expose your hat flap

and if you resisted, she'd send you right back

to the bench near the tree in the darkest of shade

and she'd scream it again for you

NO HAT NO PLAY!

So why now when I'm 24 and free

and I could wear any hat that I please

would I choose to wear a hat with a flap?

Henry Holland must be on crack!

Love,

Wear + Tear.
