A friend mentioned that he didn't wear t-shirts or buttons anymore
Overt slogans might intrude & close gentle civil inquiry
Under the radar --polite and safe. Safe?
I think that as a crone, with the crown of age
I shall start wearing a few more signs of my ideas
goosing the world & to explore for myself
which ideas fit and match
Jewelry made of my own pin buttons
One says "imitate water"
My current favorite you see here
it says ..."Bent"
It caught my eye and tickled me
niggled at me
I made more of them in many colors
yet no one asks
'what is bent?'
Perhaps what captivated me was a
line of word play; a loose chain of associations
I mean this
I am not straight
or narrow
I am weathered still flexible
I have a vein of dark humor and some twisted ideas
I am bent
Not broken
holding some measure of the worlds weight
I will bend to it
Be bent with it
it says ..."Bent"
It caught my eye and tickled me
niggled at me
I made more of them in many colors
yet no one asks
'what is bent?'
Perhaps what captivated me was a
line of word play; a loose chain of associations
I mean this
I am not straight
or narrow
I am weathered still flexible
I have a vein of dark humor and some twisted ideas
I am bent
Not broken
holding some measure of the worlds weight
I will bend to it
Be bent with it
