Poetic confetti tossed with brazen flare
Words pouring with the clarity of a smooth, Russian vodka
Ignore the bite, something so fine can do no harm
Watch my eyes
They will tell you everything you do not hear
Listen to my words
You will see nothing at all
Touch my lips
I share them with many
Reach for my heart so you can feel me pull yours out
Sorry…you left your light on and I tripped on your soul
I was looking for mine while lost in my dark
I thought you were special
My shiny new thing
Pass the salt
~Alisa Hutton
Alisa, does your new shiny new love need some seasoning? I took this to mean that your excitement for the new had deteriorated to the mundane. Well done, Keith

A friend was describing someone they had dated as a “shiny new thing”. It struck me as so odd, it kind of felt like we were talking about another persons emotions as casually as “pass the salt”. It has stuck with me for a while. I guess it is just human nature sometimes.

Alisa, it kind of trivializes relationships, doesn’t it? Some men have done this for years, wanting “arm candy,” which is an insulting term. Our President-elect is one of those kinds of men. It has to be more substantive to last. Keith

It really does feel like it trivializes relationships. I don’t really undersrand it. I can only guess it gives them a false fill reflective of something they are lacking in themselves?

A false reflective. I like that phrase. If someone dates someone on the superficial, then when that luster fades as it always does, there has to be deeper bond than skin deep. To me, you have to like your partner as well as love them. Otherwise, you are just treading water. Thanks for the conversation.
