For Susie's Challenge at Imaginary Garden with Real Toads
It wasn't like the day leaked
It was rubbery and naked
Dancing wasn't an option
Do you hear what I'm saying?
Full of truth and knocked about
But it didn't leak
Seems the day didn't spring a leak and let the truth out. You have captured the mood and style of Maya. She was definitely unique. I am a new fan of her work. I am so glad I discovered her. Thanks for writing for the challenge!!
ReplyDeleteHaha. Such discomfort for a little success.
ReplyDeleteThe legendary Sippy Cup of Life? or maybe the Cosmic Billiken?
ReplyDelete"But it didn't leak" - brilliant, love it!
ReplyDeleteSo nothing can or will be perfect but so long as it doesn't leak, it's okay.
ReplyDeleteLove this, Corey. A great distillation of the mood of the film, and your usual quirky POV to balance the rough nakedness of what is under that rubber blanket(ior maybe in the rubber room?)
ReplyDeleteI love this poem! You caught my interest with that first, brilliant line and made me want to read more.
ReplyDeleteI love the "but it didnt leak." It sounds a lot like my "at least" approach to life - at least I dont have leprosy, can still walk etc etc.......LOL.
ReplyDeleteThis is quite wonderful, Corey--humorous, mordant, succinct, super-suggestive. My only caveat--dancing should ALWAYS be an option! k.
ReplyDeletebest description I've heard of a day maybe ever ~
