Absolutely Smooth Mustard

Absolutely Smooth Mustard

A Poem by Robert Ronnow

There is absolutely nothing to do. Some people
fall in love. I go have a cheese sandwich
with mustard. Watch skyscraper lights from
the bed. Look at the books and decide to read
none of the dry words. The cheese sandwich is
good, and orange juice. It's cold in the kitchen
so I go back to bed even though it's Spring.

Some people go dancing in fish net stockings.
They find a good time" but exactly what this means": 
it's not more important than a star. Quite
what is this waiting. Tonight I could disappear
and the world might not miss me until next year.
I remember passionate nights with some of the women
I've known. Two sides of a smooth stone.

These lines
"Some people
fall in love. I go have a cheese sandwich
with mustard." - made me feel so many different emotions at once - pity , humor, empathy, love , indifference - pure class.
thanks RR
