Taking A Break

In life sometimes people need to take a break. If I were bolder I would have posted just that line and hoped that my readers would understand that it was a reference to an incontinuity theory implying humor. Instead I am going to explain different kinds of breaks. Each day when I complement a passerby that is a break in their day. A disruption. When I decide to comment on another person's conversation or laugh at another persons joke that is a break in their lives. In the natural order. Sometimes. Things. Break. But sometimes they just keep going on. 

A Sticky Note

Itch, scratch, itch, scratch,

Letter, match, letter, match,

Find the things you seek and need,

Give yourself what you need to feed,

I require the words of men,

Scribbles, scrabbles, what then?

Pictures, stories, moments suspended,

Far surviving though it's time has ended,

Ink, blood, tales flood my ears,

Tales of my fears,

Fire, burning the houses and,

Books thrown out by king's demand,

Interesting it is to be a page,

Infinite possibility in any age,

White, yellow, light, mellow,

Even if I am only used for a nice polite hello.
