hearts carry no locks
because no keys exist
to open them
doors have locks
and require keys
and pianos have keys
and produce harmony
and harmony is made
into grits
–wait that’s wrong–
we were talking about hearts
but i got distracted
thinking about breakfast
and i’ve never actually
had grits
if i keep talking maybe
you won’t notice how
my rib cage closes in
on my heart
like prison bars
no locks just
bars
hum a few bars (20160915)

I like the stream of consciousness word associations here.
That’s hominy…or grits. Depending on what part of the south you’re from. (K)
This is awesome!! And grits are pretty good. 🙂
Thanks! I’ll have to try them some day when I’m feeling adventurous.
love this one. Sometimes distractions take us to where we need to go without knowing it!
Thank you so much. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Lox is good with cream cheese
And an everything bagel
I could sink my teeth into that.
I love lox…I’ll eat it on a bagel with cream cheese, or on baguette slices with Havarti and an avocado.
Great stuff.
🙂
Grits are great – it’s just another type of corn-meal, basically!

I love this one, Crow. 🙂
Thank you! I glad you enjoyed it. It was a fun one to write.
