Poem #11

It would be more interesting
If I wore black like Johnny Cash
To honor those men in prison
Or the death of innocence
Or something else vaguely romantic
Instead I wear black as a shield
Protecting me from spills and size
Making me feel (eyes closed - you can't see me!)
Invisible.

Being invisible is actually a pretty good advantage to have if you are fighting villains demonic rabbits.

Sebastien: I would love to be invisible...move along, nothing to see here :-)

Tara said...

Lol - Sebastien makes a good point. You have to be prepared with your invisibility skills to fight the demonic rabbits. :)

I wear black because i'm poor and it isn't as noticeable when you wear the same things over and over again...Or at least that's what I tell myself, anyway.

Tara: Sebastien always gets to the heart of the matter :-D

Churlita: Yeah! Me too! I have black clothes I've been wearing for, like, 10 years...and it is all pretty interchangeable.
