POPO2022 day 9 — starfish

Posted by msjadeli on

card 9 starfish resized

everybody
wants to be one, in limelight,
contorting, reaching

everybody
wants fifteen minutes of it
tomato soup can

wants to be limelit
an ooh-ahhed exotic fruit
fantasy island

contorting, reaching
prickling imagined talent
stomach sucking sand

      Not sure if I have or not. If I did it was at Shedd Aquarium in Chicago.
