Peanut Time


by George LaCas


Vacuuming under the sofa

I meet a peanut, who

Knows more than

Me.

 

The peanut, ancient and

Learned-yellow, knows that

Stasis-time, time spent

Still and hiding

 

Stacks up twice

As fast as

Time well-spent.

 

But all I can do,

After the fact,

Is run the vacuum under

The sofa

 

And hear him jar,

Rattling.
