Playthings by Lynn White

Published by

It’s the need to possess

that baffles me,

the need to own

objects

of no decorative

or use value,

objects

destined to become

encumbrances

sooner or later,

passive playthings

out of their time

moved on

into a time

when even the box,

it’s wrapping

and ribbons

fails to excite

creativity.

Playthings

destined to become

encumbrances

sooner or later.

Ever sooner

as time

moves

on.

    Yes there are some useless playthings that people spend a lot of money on. Embroidered toilet paper, self-stirring mugs, dancing cactuses and singing Bass, and sportscars for men 60+.
