Little Notes

By Kiah

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Little yellow notes litter my world. Little black letters stretch and unfurl. Words and paragraphs. All I can do is laugh. The big payoff is closer than ever before. The big layoff is near, my clever whore. Dollars and cents. Malevolence. Make some sense. All of this. Little thoughts fill my head. Little feet steal little words I said. Little as me are the yellow notes. Little faith in me, gives me little hope. Bitter little pieces of glass in the cracks. Little crunchy particles placed with intention I did this to make it right. I did this to break a fight. I did this. Insidious. I did this. Inside us. Divide us. Insidious. Written December 3rd, 2001 © on Dec 03 2001 02:11 AM PST   20 • 0 • 1
