that's mrs. mediocrity to you

.

see, i told you:
you can only get lost
when you’re following
someone else’s map

why don’t you ever listen

and

i heard she took everything,
even the cat

the rest gets drowned out
by a splashing bus and
the slap in the face
of exhausted exhaust

.

when the light turns red
and the crowd surges forward
my tall boots refuse to carry on
and i stand there

anchored

by two tiny pieces of
strange stranger’s conversation

smiling because
i know exactly
what she meant

and a mewling kitten
is winding
infinity

around my warm and silent
ankles

Linking up today with the fabulous dVerse poets for Open Link Night

sometimes,

your angle

of approach

changes

everything

Apparently, Jack Frost does have a heart.

Several, actually.

He left me an early Valentine’s gift and well, I melted.

I love you, too, Jack.

Your magic is one of Nature’s best tricks.
