To be or... whatever

To be or... whatever

A Story by Jeannette Lunete

I bought my first frustration in front of a white clock with hands that avoid transience. 
Lukewarm stimulus was shaking my salto into the random. Swinging the husky voice out of my fragile repertory of verbal mutants. 
I would run over the monticule of bad excuses while I shouted out my cinnamon breath shaped into a cynical response: "So what?" Over and over again... 

The white Persian cat you called Cloudy died. 
So what?  Now she's at least where she belongs..in the sky.

Pluton is not a planet anymore.
 So what? A silent "not" is there anyway in his name if you read it backwards...

Flower wreaths are joining graves not heads anymore. 
So what? At least it goes back to the roots.

People seem to get suicidal over blue letters of ignorance. 
So what? At least they create a nice violet plash while massing with the red. 

Apathy seems to become remediless. 
So what? My tongue will live forever.

"I would run over the monticule of bad excuses while I shouted out my cinnamon breath shaped into a cynical response: "So what?" Over and over again... "
This is my kind of poetry. Testing ground and thoughts. The story is direct and honest. Not a poem that is filled with rosy and contentment. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Thanks, for reading. I appreciate it.
The tone of the writing is defiant as Jeannette kindly opens the doors to her intriguing enigma and alluring conceptualism. Defiant might be but I always feel welcome in this corridors of chameleons which is the nature of her inner images. Here is the writing gets my full attention. The So what here is not disrespectful is not inconsiderate it is a response indeed to the realazation that what knocks at our doors right here right now is not whatwe want but hey I will listen yet that doesn't mean I need to obbey those midnless games. Insteas Jeanette has her own journey. Listening to her own truths. Trying to stick up to what she belives is a way "forward" but not asleep, not unconcious and certainly not harmful.

So what ? If you are not popular with the "in" crowd Jeannette. You will always have a place in my group with the nerds.

Thankyou
