Half Mast – a poem by Paul Vincent Cannon

VJs Weekly Challenge – Embarrassing Moments

“Nobody notices when your zipper is up, but everyone notices when it’s down.” Cynthia Lewis

Half Mast

I'm not much for flags,
something about a narrowing view
that addles the best minds and,
like a dog's territorial spray,
borders a fantasy about things
supposedly owned, and I was 
making this point over a jar or two,
when someone said, yours isn't 
flying too well, you're half mast,
and I zippered in a laughing hell.

    Don’t know how you find such appropriate (inappropriate) pictures! “Half Mast” made me smile.

    Even if men don’t always look in the mirror so often. Sometimes it’s good to do it. Lol
