I wish

justam

I wish
there’d a been a label
somewhere
a warning
about how love can cause mental illness
distress
states of unreality
faintness of spirit
confusion
hope
false hope
euphoria
depression
instability
happiness
mood swings
but there’s no convenient place to put it I guess
Although I suppose it might fit on the bottom of my foot
but
I probably wouldn’t have read it anyway

justam, this was great! The idea of being fixed with a warning label on your foot that you'd just ignore anyway--too funny!!! Thanks for making me smile this morning!

I'm glad it made you smile. I think my humor is usually missed.

i REALLY love your spare style of words justam, soooo well done. i agree too - i would definitely have liked a *warning*....but would've proceeded ahead - ignoring it as well.

good stuff.

On a second hand wooden table
she placed three empty possessions;
a pen, a perfume bottle, and a suitcase.

For days she would pass the table
and ask herself, "Which should be filled, first?"


I was inspired by your poem to write this. Thank you.

I like the build up to the last sentence, which is the most important line in the entire poem...."I probably wouldn't have read it any way."

Even when we see the red flags, we generally jump in anyway. It's just human nature.
