Days And Confused

Days And Confused

A Poem by Pete
"

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.

"
Crystalclear night sky filled with ...

i swear
sometimes if i stare
i can see atoms and molecules in the air
breakdancing and riding bumper cars
all kindled, staticky and charged
as i turn my attention to a litter of stars
or moldy, green cheese orbiting and stretching all the way to mars

sitting crooked on a stool, waiting for last call at bars
floating in the trevi fountain
as i wait for the elevator on a matterhorn mountain
my shelf tilting with a collection of fermented urine in dark, labeled, jars
matter's not mine, it's ours
even if it spars
with steel, nickel and bronze stringed guitars

Wow
You are taking us on an imaginary trip to Italy, Switzerland mountains and to the stars.
I'm hoping it was not the booze that induced all of that, for when they are ready to close the doors, they kick out the patrons.
Thoreou's quote summed it up marvelously.
