23 March, finally

french fries
don’t eat too many. 
eat some. 
don’t be afraid of ketchup. 

blankets
wool is good
heavy, oversized blankets can make you feel safe
the velvety kind feel nice but don’t last long

bananas
people are like bananas with controllable ripeness. help others.

mustaches
everything has a mustache. everyone has something to hide. keep wondering what’s beneath. 

mustard
honey
dijon
brown
yellow
choose wisely. 

steve
take some time to thank him for being him.
we are steve. 

Sometimes you don’t have to understand a poem to enjoy it. We spend so much time in school tearing them apart, fishing for meaning, deconstructing them. Don’t spend your entire life deconstructing everything. It’s also good to take things at face value (moderation is good). Sometimes I write really stupid poems (look above) because I like the way certain words sound together or I like the way a combination of words might make you think. 

Try it: 
Crab Rangoon. Tiger Woods. 

Great poem. So much to think about. 
Don’t dissect everything.
