Day 39 - Blank (poem)

BLANK

Feeling nothing
but disparate strands
of thought...

A boy with a passing resemblance to Ralphie
in A CHRISTMAS STORY standing strong
in the face of bus stop bullies...

Trying to get the chewed up
apple strand caught between two back teeth
to evacuate...

Tracing a woman's back
like a Maserati wrestling switchbacks
in Tuscany...

They all flirt
with my attention,

but fall
like the frayed ends
of an abandoned quilt.
