Fourteen Estimates

I am . . .
1.A blank, immovable wall cemented in wait for inspiration to splatter its techtonic plate-moving potential over every centimeter
2.The friend everyone can cry to but is shoulder-to-cry-on-less
3.The understated participant of a many-playered game
4.A weak-looking flame waiting on the sidelines, contained in a glass lantern, unable to obtain its chance at engulfing an idea
5.A shirt worn during a paint fight, catching the slopped hues that will create its own color wheel
6.A gullible fool willing to be pulled by a tractor-pulled sled through hardened, crusty Jell-O
7.A piece of paper, used to scribble homework, then lost in the depths of objects in some artist’s portfolio
8.A French fry dipped and eaten with an ounce of chocolate frosty and gulped down with a carbonated, ice-cold Pepsi
9.A Swiss army knife - just when you think that’s it, there’s another layer of gadgets
10.A bulletproof vest with imperceptible holes small enough for words to seep through
11.The lone pianist in a sea of violins
12.A warm air pocket caught in the center of an Antarctic ice storm
13.A freelance thinker in a foggy room chalk full of political auctioneers
14.In a room of shouting, power-hungry, ignorant world leaders, I am my own opinionated voice in need of a microphone
