Writing Byte: #8: Living in a Whirling World

(The point is to be a little confused at the beginning... don't worry!)

I’m a bunny in a breeze.
I’m a frog in a frenzy.

I’m a mole in a mountain.
I’m a lion on a lawn.

I’m as slippery as soap,
and as stubborn as a sailor.
I’m as listless as a lump,
and as harried as a hamster.

I’m a human in a pickle,
looking for identity,
lost in metaphor and riddle,
searching for analogy.

I find I’m both and neither… 
everything and nothing…

Until finally I decide:

I’m not a character, 
portrayal or example,
I’m me: impossibly complex, 

and truly unexplainable.

Writing Byte #3: A Carpet

A carpet is a remarkably versatile piece of a house. It’s a comfort to tired feet coming home after a long day. It’s another task for the homeowner, stuck with the work of vacuuming. It’s a cushion for the tumbling children, as they roughhouse their way through childhood. It’s a bed for the pet curled up by the fire. It can have many personalities: a solid color or a patterned design, light or dark, soft or coarse. It may be so familiar that you can pass over it easily in the night, or so new it may surprise your feet as you walk across it. For me, an old carpet is an old friend, and can play an even stranger role: a place for me to position my laptop and my body, and write. But for most, a carpet is so innocuous; they don’t even know it’s there.
