The Safety of Objects

On the surface, material objects are just that. Inanimate things that can be seen, touched, smelled, heard, tasted and sometimes all five. However, us humans have a way of associating meaning to even the most ordinary seeming of items, from allergy-inducing grass blades to delectable candy and everything in between. Some objects bring us all-encompassing comfort, while others bring us undeniable distress. The saying one person's trash is another person's treasure certainly rings true here. Whether you are a chocoholic or a coffee aficionado, this unique collection of poetry belongs on your bookshelf.
