2041. does she or doesn’t she?


there she goes again
turning all yellow mellow
like a buttercup
*
i do, i do
i really like butter—
how about you?






I had in mind to post this picture sometime and then last night in the middle of the night the word, yellow buttercup popped into my mind. Now I as I sit sipping coffee, I am recalling the Children’s Buttercup Game: “Does she or doesn’t she?”  Hold the buttercup under your chin to see if your chin turns yellow. 

It’s natural to play. One would be wise to appreciate play, for therein lies possibilities for creativity and discovery. It’s true that some of our best ideas can come while tinkering or faffing, or taking a bath, or eating breakfast, sipping tea or coffee, or simply doing nothing! Reminder to play.
