Enjoy the Quiet

Enjoy the quiet. Embrace the noise. The tiger waits, Alert and poised. Look under the carpet. Check under the rug. Spray the stain. Squash the bug. Leave it alone. Take care of it. Do something. Stop. Butter brains and Omelette eyes, Too full to contrive. Starving hearts Soldier through the Growing war fields.

AN INTRIGUING WRITE, WELL EXPRESSED - COULD THESE BE THOSE THAT WASTE OUR OXYGEN OR THOSE THAT DO NOT KNOW WHY THEY EXIST AT ALL, WHICH IN FACT MEANS ONE AND THE SAME! HUGS AND BLESSINGS, JENNIFER

Interesting oxymorons, Matt. I have never seen them so well-expressed before in poetry. Excellent write!
