This is
just like
I dreamed
how being
an adult
would be:
there would be
bright sunlight,
a cool breeze,
I’d have
a nice job in
a clean city,
and it would be
perpetually Friday,
happily
anticipating
a weekend getaway
with my beloved bride.
Just like
this photograph.
So,
then,
why am I stuck
obsessing
over
the unintended
vertical
reflection
found in the
middle third
of this scene?

Love... that end is just brilliant.. though it looks a lot nice than the rainy morning we had here...
ReplyDeleteIt is so bright and ideal and the mystery in the closing the not quite seeable...is intriguing. Well done, Mosk!
ReplyDelete"...how I dreamed being an adult would be...." Oh, I love that. Not quite like we envisioned but pretty great nevertheless.......
ReplyDeleteI love the mystery of the vertical reflection and all the idea of obsession implies...like some kind of wariness...right after expectant joy...
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!! Love this Mosk :D
ReplyDeleteHeehee. Perfection. Isn't that how it always is, as an adult? One more thing. And one more thing. And one more thing.
ReplyDeleteI think there may never be 'perpetual Friday.' But it always, except on Sunday, is Saturday for the retired. I'm liking that. Oh yes, I would like to put a short radio tower in our backyard, maybe ten or twenty feet higher than the top of the roof.
ReplyDelete..
I think the answer is, because you're only human. We do that kind of thing. But I like the photo, AND the poem.
ReplyDeleteluv the fact that you can dream and see that dream to share. We do however, all of us carry a little bit of the child in us. 'perpetual Fridays, Gosh! well may be there is also hope in that dream, as a retiree i can consider every day a Friday should i so desire

i'm happy you dropped by my blog
much love...
It looks like as near perfect a day as possible to me.
ReplyDeleteHa! So true we do this. Spot-on introspective poem, as usual!
ReplyDeleteHaha, that's very funny....I like that :-)
ReplyDeleteWe often don't allow ourselves "perfection" even if it is right in front of our noses. :)
