Knapsack of the Abstract

in #spokenword7 years ago

The abstract was a knapsack
Where we placed uncertainty &
Momentos we could get back
Anytime we dwelt on pain.


The concrete was a great relief,
Fishing trips and bar-be-ques and
crypto-current-chutneyed booze.
We didn't strain our mind.

What happened to the spelunkers?
What happened to the deep divers?
I stamp on the game board monopoly,
I burn yo park place with embers.

I roil yo smoke-stain ignorance;
I wrestle wit yo steam train
Indifference the significance of
Agitation that cannoned us to orbit.

Ignore the piece that unsettles,
Look at the pretty pictures, listen
To the heavy metal hip-hop gift-shop
Collectible distractions make an impact
Creating infinite factions that Stir up
Whirr up animal passions causing
Forgetfulness of how we're
Fashioned, just throw the
Junk in yo' abstract
Backpack and never
Unzip it just keep
Crammin' in trash.

Yes, recently people are less and less in nature, looking at the stars. Everything is hurrying somewhere.

That's true @magnata...

Awesome poem man. Great to see great content from my top voter!
Keep them coming.

haha.... thank you @steemengine1... hope to see some foolish phil's soon :D

lol. I'll try to come up with a couple this week.

Your pictures begin and end with a girlfriend who is thinking. If we follow all the pictures, then we get the whole story. It shows that you are an incredibly creative person.

Thanks for the compliment. She does look a bit preoccupied, you're right!

You brought back memories of monopoly for me. I have fond memories of that game. I still have the original pieces too! As always, hope all is well with you. Take care!
