There’s one thing i know about life
you can either go in one
direction
or another, or you can
simply stand
still
An Internet Folk Artist
Simple truths simply put. Simply mindgallery.

All purple haze and shimmering film
from the blue light while the
television
cast a luminous glow from
some late night TV
show
*
And it was half past Sunday
and ten past nine as
we lay here
stuck
in between yesterday
& tomorrow
in this combustible
bliss
*
Sleep spills from our lids
night contours slide
through our
ribs
as we bask in the glow
while the over
flow
spills out into
tomorrow
*
where the birds wind and dust lands . mindgallery
There’s something about this mindgallery poem that makes me think of warm weather and the arrival of spring. The gradual increase in daylight leaves me hoping for a gradual increase in temperatures. Soon?
Both ravished and radiant yet obviously devoured
by life’s many
hours
she carried her memories without photographs
of the sepia tinged touchstones
and walked
past the man shouting Jesus saves and past
the pastel toned bath towels on display
at Bed Bath and
Beyond
past a two for one weekend special and past
the faceless stream, until she
disappeared
slowly into the rush
hour

Quintessential mindgallery from the days when the Brooklyn Missed Connections was an interesting and diverse forum. Just a little something to think about the next time you’re easing yourself into the rush hour flow.
And here’s the thing about life
there’s a lot of people
way worse
off
then you and i are and
that in itself
sucks
and it’s linguistic in
how intrinsic we
talk
about the value
of things
wind instruments are beautiful
Another thoughtfully beautiful poem from mindgallery and the Brooklyn Missed Connections. Hope you have a lovely weekend!

Holidays come (Washington’s Birthday!) and go (Valentine’s Day!) in a seemingly endless cycle. Just don’t mix those reds with the whites!
