I’ve been typing up my 3:15 poems from this year (uh, even though I haven’t even finished typing up the ones from LAST year…) and this one is my favourite so far. If you don’t know what the 3:15 Experiment is, check out our FACEBOOK group or check out the Poets sharing their work on the 3:15 Experiment site.

I bet no one but insanity
knows what it’s like to run amok
Big eyes from the galaxy upon
him, ghosts from the recent
past.
If all our moments came back
to haunt us, where would
they sleep?
Moments moping under the
accelerator, biding time in the kitchen
recipe for repetition
undisciplined action
Spectators
They think the only direction
to go is up. Could be
right, so late in the game
But she’s not taking
any chances. All edible agents
are drawn and quartered, distributed
w/out much fanfare.
placing the lower quarter of an
idea in his mouth, he declared
all originality sin.
I love this too–made me laugh and then cough. That really says something.
i love it. and this came out at 3:15 in the morning. wow~
Lovely, good post. I just bumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed reading your blog posts. Any way, I will be signing up to receive your feed and I hope you post very soon.
AP – thanks. I especially love the last lines: placing the lower quarter of an
idea in his mouth, he declared
all originality sin.
Michelle – I have no idea exactly WHERE this stuff comes from at 3:15 AM. It’s always a surprise.
Wow, Solar Power has subscribed to my blog. LOL.
I didn’t even know Solar Power could read. Or would use a word like “bumbled.”
