Word Play

Angie Grey
Cheap notes like that forgery
I wait for somewhat spastically -
To read sarcastically with chocolate
Under the ceiling fan by my desk.
The chocolate smears to erase the
lame pen attacks on the paper.
Another attempt to scribble lamely
Upon my ornate, intangible vapor
I see you like it better when you wait
Not venting emotions on paper toys
So, I wrote you an ethereal hello.
You did not ever write me, I wondered why...

The holly and the saw palmetto plants spent New Year's Day.
Decorated with little things, the tiniest pinatas, as if made by what...

Toys to play with, love to avoid tampering with -
Life must look more ethereal when much is to wait for.
This attempt to scribble better is somewhat lame.
Yes, that is all on paper, somewhere in fairy squares.
I am disappointed with things (they are all cheap).
How my emotions become vapor you see
Spastic notes I wrote to vent out the emptiness
Then, I would somewhat introvert, while gazing at the green anoles.

It seems we do not appreciate what we have for life like we should
New Year's Day exists to help us try to avoid repeating our errors.

Much essence is this upon paper, like swamp water.
No fun my toying attempts to write to you -
As chocolate disappointed you with its cheap sarcasm.
I spastically attempt notes - Dear Chipley...
Conflicting - much emotion - I wrote things.
I read spastic ventings to see my intangibles.
Waiting somewhat for redemption.
Tired of feeling stupid, rash - poverty gets boring.
