Free Sodas

 

 

frivolous excuses

love is a myth of intention

just words,

just poems written with no heart

 

the real sincerity

is on some menu

at a drive-in restaurant

prices not available

 

apparent drive-offs

burn rubber

squealing tales submitted

no truth

 

no love

no tip

just a fable

with a tray

as table.

Soda is bad for you but I'd say a poem with no heart isn't poetry at all and I know for a fact that love is more than myth. But according to Aesop some old foxes think all the grapes are sour. ;)

I am an old fox, but I do like some grapes very much.
thank you, Fabian,

But the ones you can't reach on the vine? ;) I read once about a fellow once who'd only ever seen red apples and when he was told there were yellow and green and striped ones he positively raged at those lies. But then, he had only his own experience to draw upon. There are a good many folks who've only ever seen red apples. I don't know about oranges but then, there's no use in comparing apples to oranges.
