a slice of bread
toasted or non
a fluff of nutrition
or seeded and whole
is slathered
with condiments
on the inside
soon though covered
with the main ingredients
depending on preferences
of the day or mood
they too are found
completely covered
as the finishing step
with a second
slice of bread
-Jennie Nawrocki
there it is
surrounding me
remnants of
daily activities
in piles around
continue with
the next items
until spread
leaving their
legacy of interaction
it bits and pieces
until there
you have it
a mess so huge
you don’t know
where to start
sorting it through
-Jennie Nawrocki
it’s not something
that we want
for it prevents
proper communication
as bodies build
with frustration
culminating in anger
making red
the once pale skin
scrunched face
and tight muscles
yelling nasties
only to find
the receiver
is unaware
for they didn’t
listen to the
warning signs
ahead of time
-Jennie Nawrocki
this, that
and the other
combined in
chaos around
befuddles the mind
into an arrangement
of piles
unable to sort
clean and clear
as they overlap
entangled webs
wanted for versatility
in functionality
for exposure
amongst a heavy
rotation is
supports us all
-Jennie Nawrocki
a simple seed
found inside fruit
hard in exterior
protecting vital
elements of the
next generation inside
they are carefully
placed in a
particular sequence
remembering depth
soil nutrition
and the amounts
of sun and rain
will arrive
to have them
slowly sprout
becoming plants
bearing the same fruit
ready for harvest
after caring
ever so gently
for one small seed
-Jennie Nawrocki
