Absurd

I.

I buy myself flowers

Only to end up

Sneezing all over

The place;

How can an act

Of kindness,

Turn that easily

Into an act

Of hate?

II.

Everything deserves a break

So one of these days

I shall take my thoughts

Out for a walk,

And then I’ll make them

Go back without me.

III.

You can send me

An empty box

As a present

For I can love it

For the things

That will be there;

I’ll make paper planes

Out of the gift-wrap

And scrunchies

Out of ribbons,

And use the box

To store them in.

  1. Brilliance throughout. You had me nodding and grinning the entire way. I couldn’t help thinking about how happy a cat would be to receive an empty box as a Christmas gift! 😀 I love these mini-collections of yours. Such originality and thoughtfulness, and such skillful presentation. Excellent stuff, Aaysid. 🙂

  2. This is beautiful and very cleverly written, Aaysid. I particularly like the second verse

    ‘I shall take my thoughts

    Out for a walk,

    And then I’ll make them

    Go back without me.’

    How I’d love to do that in real life. Thanks for sharing. Xx 💖
