I suppose it takes a lot more to inspire me <\/p>\n
A black and white picture of a pic dog in a sweatshirt is close enough to being my spirit animal but mostly I’m a cat person and probably a crazy one <\/p>\n
Just give me ten or so more years of living like this and I might snap sooner rather than later<\/p>\n
My daughter liked the pic of the green blob of moss with googly eyes in someone’s hands but I really can’t get with that
\nIs that supposed to be joy or whimsy or nature I have no idea
\nI liked the idea of the googly eyes though because who doesn’t <\/p>\n
And anyway the last picture in the prompt was nice and spiritual-esq but it was nature and I am the worst at nature<\/p>\n
And maybe I’m not in a deep enough peaceful enough calm enough place to be all “ooooh a door and sun and a tree let’s mediate or reflect on the human condition!” Because my entire current human condition is more than enough to deal with <\/p>\n
As I write this poem I’m playing candy land with my daughter in
\nMy unmade bed
\nCoffee finally ready after a trip to trader joes for cream<\/p>\n
My daughter just used eye shadow to paint my face into a clown or kitty cat or what looks like a 35 year old woman after a rough night at a bar and wow is that hard to wash off <\/p>\n
So inspiration hmmmm<\/p>\n
Sounds like one of those words that the more you say it or look at it or think about it
\nIt loses it’s meaning <\/p>\n
Like
\nspork spork spork
\nOr
\nbog bog bog<\/p>\n
Though as a Nietzsche fan and part time nihilist<\/p>\n
I suppose meaninglessness
