We could watch paint dry together
Listen to my secretive prose
Quiet words flying nearby
I know
I’m up for it, if you are.
Stand in line to watch water evaporate
Tap our feet to your street music
Keep alive our creative beat
Finally same concrete
I hear
I’m up for it, if you are.
Sit here guessing similar fears
Search eyes; touch skin
For truth and acceptance
Kiss trembling away
I feel
I’m up for it, if you are.
All three creative and real
Capable of floating up
To be caught for witness
Changing many lives
I believe
I’m up for it, if you are.
Lying there with you
Let it be: I ask
Maybe today you can?
Try to be my kind of Saturday

Just thought I would add a contrary opinion since everyone else was agreeing with you on the romance of watching pain dry ….my middle name should be “loves to be contrarian” 😉

Beautiful poem. Now, is it better to watch paint dry or grass grow?
LikeLike
Thank you. Such a tough choice, but I’m going with grass. Why? Because it may involve a park with trees, however it must not be winter. I want leaves. Oh, and clouds.

I was thinking the same thing. Fresh air and no paint fumes.
