Replying to a comment on:

Soup Can (Free verse) by oneglove

Live your life Between shadows and spotlights A love of beauty A taste for fright Someone may notice The eyes in the blinds Your silver and gray Will have their time But you're jumping off buildings Just to part the crowd For someone to notice You can make a sound As you sit up high Ants scurry in throngs You finally know What you knew all along It was never home

Was it earth all along? ;-D Sorry--just saw Planet of the Apes (the original, not the Marky Mark version) again. There's sort of an odd melancholy to this that works, though some of the lines fall a little flat. Why "Soup Can"?
