Do you mind?

Grounded for attention

By KaidenPublished about a month ago 1 min read
I took a photo what’s in front of me

Do you mind

if I count the leaves on the trees

If I count the stems on each branch

if I count the seeds on a strawberry

if I count the stars in the sky

my eyes tend to be blurry

I tend to be in no hurry

this is my way of being a nice guy

it’s a beautiful way

just waiting to die

hi

do you mind

if I write a letter

just to get better

if I write a poem

since I’m feeling a little lonesome

if I write an elegy

it’s truly not my specialty

but I’ll try to write each word

a little bit more carefully

hi

do you mind

if I’m not kind

if I change it from day to night

if I use my left hand instead of right

if I see black instead of white

would it be a delight

despite the fact of no insight

treat the fact

concludes my given time

Elegy

    I love the cadence of this. Every verse just rolls off the tongue (off the mind?) so nicely.
