The chair by the door

Comment:
knows mostly the arse of leaky sunlight.
Its thin legs look like the hands of a clock.
The same model is available in rice white,
but this peachy red is out of stock.

From the Wilderness
by hahn23

Comment:
Every stupid idea comes from the wilderness,
staring hugely at us through a window,
the wrong color but the color is from the wilderness.
Styrofoam stares beastly through bean-strangled coffee.
Jungles are clapping for misinformed compromise.
Every molecule in the Universe is a hyena.
Back to the wilderness, Grandma.
Let the mountain stream drink you.

Such a devilish quand'ry I've got
by GeneralE

Comment:
wither to park or wither to lot
draw it in chalk a symbol forgot
to heap up decisions in rosemary plots
for I can return to whenever I want
and cheek it up right with my raspberry flaunt
no finer skirts in Victoria's haunt
yer think I Noumena but I Kant

leaves fall. a page turns.
by tanguera

Comment:
a page falls while the leaves turn.
stories are abandoned to the cold.
protagonists crumple unheroically.
wigs are put on, a new set of legs.
they bound into new bindings.
we call this seasoning
and look for fresh meat.

The Chosen Path

When I got to my destination
I realized I was right about everything
except who did the choosing.

Flying free
by hajeka

Comment:
I was flying predestined, without free will,
subject to wind and preordained adjustments
which were programmed by evolution into the deep structure of my brain
to respond to an environment I had no control over.
Felt good.

The mountains grow unnoticed
by Bennih

Comment:
We offend them, like yellowjackets at a funeral.
They shrug unnoticed. We color them at the base
and lose will towards the top. They ignore us unnoticed.
They sigh and explain things to each other unnoticed.
They won't die within our noticing. They refuse unnoticed.

A flower sprouts among stones ...

Comment:
That tiny bloom has the same determination as cancer.
You can pick a flower, but can you stop all flowering?
What pill can we prescribe to Earth?
