« holding the stick | Main | the parts i remember »

winter wear

I told him I was listening,
playing cards a plenty
wanted to talk about me.

There's always some resentment
the red-sweatered peacock.

Makes me think about a conversation that is years too late...don't really know what to make of the peacock. I like the fact that your poems are short, but though-provoking. I have to read them a few times to fully grasp any meaning.

I had a good explanation for the peacock thing, but now I can't remember it. To me this poem is really just about self-centeredness and how much it can take over situations where we should be focused on the company we keep.
