ode to a sandwich

i was about to write an ode
to a sandwich

and then i thought

tomatoes and lettuce don't really
represent
my feelings on life and love and the universe
very well.

so i ate my sandwich, and thought long and hard
about e. e. cummings
and his modernly punctuated
poems

about every poet that ever breathed before me.

and i thought ...damn.
what else is left for me to do
but trudge through the snow
wearing
someone
else's
boots?

i'll never look at a sandwich the same way again. it's amazing how you take something kind of mundane and normal, that most wouldn't give a second thought, and twist it into something beautiful that should be given thought to.

beautiful poem, yet i hate that people feel nothing truly new can be created. possibilty is neverending, no two souls are the same,

as long as the universe expands there will always be uniqueness and the chance to write what has never and do better than has ever been before

We all feel this way sometimes...How can we ever surpass what has been done? It is overwhelming to find that individual voice...Sometimes it can take your breath away. Good use of direction and intrigue here. Wonderful.
