Perishable

The sieve separates us into fine counterparts.

Although, too many settle into miserable lumps.

Refrigerators and house pets no longer entertain

thoughts while locked indoors.

It was easier to break back in than swim

across the guarded moat, risking It-

It was all about how the timing 

lined up, or expired for you, 

risen to an occasion or 

rotting away.

To use when the bunny nose doesn't work

For once!
For me-
For a moment,
For sanity!
For inspiration,
For productivity,
For peace sake!
For a chance-
To have
two
minutes (are minute)...
For crying inside-
(not) To sound cute,
but (no) more interruptions
distractions, diversions,
meaning(less)ful conversations
are (not) welcome when(ever) the whim may
blow your way. You can(not) just pick  up my scent.
and pull me out of your hat when(ever) you
are feeling magical,
For five seconds
of fatuous fame.
I place no blame, but if it's all the same
To You, I have very important stuff
To Do!
