Aesthetics of Thursday

I like the art in cartoons that is left out of focus 

and fictional movies with realistic approaches

I like fog when it rests on hillsides in the distance

and iron bar balconies on small streets in big cities

I like observing couples on obvious first dates

and when people with bad posture remind me to stand straight

I like weird slang terms for drugs

and elongated hugs

I like when pets match their owners 

and vegan alternatives

I like the kids at school who are actual loners

I like peonies and baby's breath, but not as much as their names. 

I like people with wrinkles and stories to match.

I like penny lane

I like the way smoke looks in photographs

I like gypsy practices although I don't partake

I don't like swimming in pools but love swimming in lakes

I like the way spines look when protruding from skin.

And how shadows form shapes on those who are thin

I like the feeling that comes with incense and oil 

In truth I love baking with aluminum foil

I like the smell of herb when its citrusy and sweet

And the thoughts that come after that wondrous treat

I like friendships with meaning and genuine people

I like mosques with large round intricate steeples 

I like Buddhist philosophy and compassion for life

I like Irish music and the sound of a fife 

I like pillows with detail by open woodburning fires

and classic literature with quotes that inspire 

I like gentle people with peaceful intentions

And of course this whole world and all its inventions
