Gerbil wheel thouhts
I watched the snow fall and cling
Through my plant infested window
Somehow thoughts of seasons ring
A calliope mentioned, ponies in a row
Then I paused and glanced around
My wine glass from last night
The plates and dishes in a mound
It clicked, all circles, thoughts, is it right?
Wheels, gears, bowls, jars,
Planets, Sun, the moon and mars
Plates, lids, the steering wheel of a car!
A flashlight, time, rhyme, tic-toc, tic…
Why, what, how, these thoughts
Thoughts of where they came
Of course, no less, obviously
That song from Joni! the circle game!
About this poem
Just thoughts… Evolution continues, in a land far from home… But I digress, as usual Thank God I have a “safe space” here!
