In the Soup

©2012 Susan Noyes Anderson

I spill my soup sometimes

when I start sipping

or leave a bit of bubbly

on the floor.

I think I’m sinking;

maybe I’m just slipping,

but towels won’t keep me

dry, not anymore.

If paper (rolled by Scott)

could wipe this mess up,

I’d stock my shelves and

count myself redeemed.

But old Black Velvet never

lets me fess up.

And black-and-white?

Much grayer than it seemed.

Again, the fog invades.

I'm in the soup, with shades.

“Don't pay any attention to what they write about you.

Just measure it in inches.” –Andy Warhol

The quote = justification for taking poetic license here.

AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO

MY DARLING DAUGHTER!
