Fried Rice and Beans – A Poem by Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on January 16, 2009

Fried rice and beans
Wrapped around frustrated dreams.

I sit and eat.
My woes disappear around my waist.

Too slow.  Too fast.
Nothing keeps the pace of my hopes.

The thing about running a blog is that some days you just post stuff – even if it isn’t your best work.  I’m not sure where I was going with this poem and then it ran out of gas, left me stranded on a highway and ran off with someone driving a better car.
