PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

you swat the flying insect

hate the spider that eats them

you want a sterile world

staring down 

into your handheld computer

all alone

tell yourself or your spouse to keep the grass mowed low

hate the yellow flower that's still undefeated at limbo

sharpen your blades,

whiten your teeth,

add a fresh layer of paint

put a thick veneer between yourself

and this blue and green spinning heart beat

why can't it be sterile

like venus or mars,

depending which one 

you're from

you want a sterile world

staring down 

at the plant in the crack in the driveway

all alone

you wanted a sterile world
