dumpster-diving; uninspiring.
your smile conjures cliche words
sweet, and honey-soaked
like a pot of coffee, yet untouched
or a cigarette half-smoked.
cobwebs on my pen and pad,
eyes dry now for some time
I dumpster-dive for something more
than imagery and rhyme.
contentment's somewhat uninspiring,
a sky devoid of gray,
no water falling to the earth,
the dirt now, dry as hay.

of the annoying symptom of contentment. a curious paradox! the idea of "dumpster-diving" too, seems very accurate.
