Emotional Ephemera

It is slippery today
forcing it causes falseness
and failure
Better left to its own devices
devilish vices
devilish voices.
Minds wander to
places best left unvisited.

Yet yesterday
it was sunny side up
running...
outstretched arms
against the mirth
of the southerly wind
on a west coast beach
where the gods were
thrashing about in the water.
Eating mangoes to the
going down of the sun.

No wonder all the animals at the zoo were just sleeping today... except the otters, but then they are slippery creatures. I like the idea of slippery days. Just gotta let them slide on by. Quite nice to wander down those ol devilish pathways occasionally, if only to remind us of where we re at.
Could get some plate smashing practice in.
miao fur now

PS quite a sense of humour that southerly wind!

I love the contrast, the two tones. the impossible and forbidden, then the lightness of yesterday. thank you :)
