  1. i have...

    picked the lint from my shoes.
    in an act of pure meditation
    between pockets of contemplation
    i have liberated tufts of fluff,
    snips of grass,
    and bits of fur
    from the curvy-tooth teeth of my velcro-attaching Teva sandals.

    no longer need i worry
    about the no-sticking-fall-off-as-i-stride left foot shoe.
    no more restless nights,
    no more embarrassing dance flops,
    and no more tripping while in mid-stride down the ramp of my english two-oh-eight class.

    why, yes.
    i have
    successfully
    punished
    all those acts of fate
    that tried to laugh in my face
    and control my step
    by snuffling my walk with little bits of poof.

    i am
    all mighty
    and powerful
    and have now taken fate into my hands.


    now, for the right foot.

  2. WHy am I inspired?

    This is awesome
     
  3. I don't know why, since it -shouldn't be- the colour of lint, but this reminds me of the colour lime green. Anyway, neat little stream of consciousness thing. ^_^
     
  4. thanks you two. (;
     
  5. The poem is cute (to me). Lint's fate is in my haaaannndddsss
     
  6. To be honest, this has confused me. It might be because my insomnia is acting up and I haven't slept a wink for something like 60 hours and still counting, but... bugger, I forget where I was going with that. I don't really get it, but it's a fine poem just the same. I'll need to remember to read it again when I'm more awake.
