Evenings on Earth

elchupacabra

Let's mix metaphors and run to the liquor store
on a budget of shoestrings and time

Let's clear our schedules to get on the levels
of the high rise apartments in Beijing

What is there for us to lose
in a world full or air above us
and dust below
and neither in dire need?

So let's slide down our totem poles
and throw away our history
and pick out our splinters
with conversations in a dark room
and a glass of wine

Just don't go telling me that it's not worth doing
when you can't even tell me what it is

    Wow a splendid poem and I like your poetic word choice and terms which render it as a fine interesting muse. Thumbs up.


    Pls do comment out my latest poem too. I'm a new poet here but have been writing poetry since years and readers enjoyed it elsewhere until I found this site and wish to make new poem pals.
