Confession
I confess that these words
I throw around is like drinking
soup in a slurpy way.
Heard them once
you've heard them all.
I confess that my jaw was broken
That slurpy is no better than I can get.
Wave your hand and give a shrug
Not much would be obvious to those
Outside the crystal ball.
And I confess that between
two noisy groans pass
a million silent ticks.

Hmm...I like this.A lot.
Ok, my appreciation of this poem would go like this:
Here the 'soup drinking' is alluded to the poet's habit of writing sad poems/sulking/being forlorn. If you've heard it once, you feel you've heard enough. That would be bcoz, when you're outside the crystal ball, as in outside the protagonist's frame of reference, you won't have ther perfect view of things that he/she does. So our shrugging about it would be akin to them outside crystal balls.
And just like in soup drinking, even in life, there are a million moments between two noisy slurps...both silent and poignant :D
Yippe, i deserve an A+ for this, Miss :)

Giffy... even if u didnt get it , remember its just a noisy slurp and not that important ...am sick of what I write really but i cant help writing the nonsense.
