Some May Hard-Boil (day 4 journey/simile)
What’s inside contains
the same. However,
before the journey,
to be marketed,
like people, eggs get
grouped by their color.
What’s inside contains
the same. However,
before the journey,
to be marketed,
like people, eggs get
grouped by their color.
Where the lonely path widened
enough for a picnic place,
they cuddled on a blanket,
a cozy and private world
that freed their inhibitions
and released confidences.
The stars encouraged brilliant
points of view, and sparkling wine
made life together rosy.
Intoxicated plans built
a heaven where they took turns
being the sun, then the moon.
Sandwiches and promises,
then they parted company,
both had to get up early.
But each tossed, turned, felt heartburn,
when they could not quite digest
one another’s baloney.
