The Most Perfect Want by Amy Cotter

Through these eyes I see the most perfect life,

that portrays the most perfect family.

With the most perfect children and parents,

that are expressing the most perfect care.

The expression of the most perfect care,

attracts those with the most perfect chaos.

For they want the most perfect life,

that is with the most perfect family.

With these eyes I see the most perfect home,

that contains the most perfect exhibit,

of the most perfect family in town;

who live next door to the most perfect mask.

Those who have with them the most perfect mask,

live within the most perfect illusion.

For they contain the most perfect style,

of hiding their most perfect impairments.

Through these eyes I see the most perfect core,

the shame of our own most imperfect lives.

We compare to the most perfect people,

creating the most perfect jealousy.

So absorbed in the most perfect envy,

that we do not make our own perfect life.

With these eyes I see the most perfect need,

the patience of the most perfect faults.

Acceptance of its most imperfect past,

will bring forward the most perfect future

In this, the most imperfect world around,

lies the most perfect want that can be found.

Acceptance of the most perfect feeling;

to be cared for by those we care about.

Poem of the Day: This Most Perfect Hill

BY LISA JARNOT

On this most perfect hill

with these most perfect dogs

are these most perfect people

and this most perfect fog

In this most perfect fog

that is the middle of the sea

inside the perfect middle of

the things inside that swing

In this most perfect rhyme

that takes up what it sees,

with perfect shelter from the

rain as perfect as can be,

In this most perfect day

at the apex of the sun

runs this most perfect

frog song that is roiling

from the mud

In these most perfect habits

of the waving of the trees,

through this imperfect language

rides a perfect brilliancy.
