Bereft… of surprises

Even when you grow up, there might come something to shake you down.

Bereft of surprises
because of age
happening relentlessly,
I still am surprised
at things I should’ve
long forgotten.

Maybe exactly
because I have long
forgotten them,
I felt they were
non-existent,
while they have been here
all along.

September Heights #10 – Pepper

Red and hot to stun

My senses, or green as mint –

Surprise in a pod
