Intellectual Aspirations (and Other Global Curiosities)

….
She’s feeling a little solilo
-queasy, un
-easy about chorus
to come. Sure,

it’s a revival, a story
of survival, a page
-ant of devils,
good and bad angels
gathered for mass

-appeal. To her, softly,
it’s altered, enlarged,
a comic relief of errors
unstrung, and saved
for later. On this whole

giant orb, she’s really nothing
but a spec

………………..-tator.


Prompted by a word list from my Shawna.

  1. Shawna says:

    Cracking up over here about that hanging “tator.” 🙂

    Love that “so li’l, o{h}” … Or maybe “So Lilo” {as in, Lilo and Stitch}.

    Scrumptious title. Love “page-ant of devils” and “gathered for mass{appeal}” … and especially “appeal to her softly” (noun) and “appeal to her, softly” (adverb).

    And this:
    “unstrung, and saved
    for later. On this whole
    giant orb, she’s really nothing
    but a spec”

  2. I imagined this was about a middle schooler worried about a performance, so much so that she can’t think about the meaning of the performance but just the many ways she will make a fool of herself! And perhaps she’ll feel so much like a spectator she might freeze up!
