It's All Relative

 —Poetry and Photos by Caschwa, Sacramento, CA
 
 
LITTLE NOTES

Three’s a big number
more than the eyes, legs, or feet
then there’s big digits
 
 
 


IT’S ALL RELATIVE

They say that birds are
descended from dinosaurs
do drones come from phones?
 
 
 
 

MYSTERIOUS MIND

When my eyes are closed
I think of things to write down
epiphanies, all
 
 
 
 

SPANKING ED

Learning curves can be
open palms used with great force
on your bare buttocks
 
 
 
 

COGNITION

Hello, I see you
are all the words you need
stand up, be counted
 
 
 
 

KEEPING UP

Punctuality
will set deadlines to address
matters big and small
 
 
 
 

TAUTOLOGY LOGIC
GONE BERSERK

“More perfect union”
has confusing meanings for
imperfect people
