Lost
Missed Connections in Milwaukee
dip your head under water and shout.
spin around in a circle
chase cars,
chase dreams,
chase fantasies
wake up
repeat repeat repeat
lose your job,
give in, give in, give in.
i’m lost.
give me a scent.
i have no poetry left.
i am not sure i ever did.
Her Two Cents
I’ve recently added a bunch of new missed connections feeds to my RSS list and Milwaukee is one of them. This poem caught my eye because I liked the references to a playful dog who experiences an abrupt ending to the carefree times. Anyone who makes the choice to live life fully will encounter set-back moments of doubt and uncertainty – it’s a non-negiotable part of the travel package. In this case, the best cure might be a little Lemon Jelly. Nice Weather for Ducks provide some much needed silliness, bounce, and color for the inner canine.
