On a random day, I met a fool,
I stand there, see random rules.
Then I say,
That’s not, what was said,
That’s not, what was done,
That’s not, how it looks!
That’s not, how it happened.
I hear pointless laughs and mocks,
I feel like my own dirty socks,
Then I think,
And certainly understood,
For I opened my mouth,
I was the fool, on a random day!
We all have those days, don’t we! We take our turn. Great poem!

In tarot, the fool card represents free spirit, innocence and spontaneity but also warns against naivety and recklessness. The poem reminds me of the fool card.

WE have a saying here that when one says something silly/foolish/stupid ‘we put our foot in our mouth’s’. As I read your poem I thought of the saying.
Oddly enough, last night I was speaking to an ex boyfriend & trying to console him. Somehow, I was a ‘random fool’ (with good intentions) & the ex ended up in tears….***sighs***
I made a 60 yr old man cry…..I feel like my socks for sure this morning!
Prakash you always capture Life so perfectly with your words~~

Its the other way. I am glad that you connect my poems to life events in a very beautiful way!
Thank you so much. I can certainly understand that situation. We all seek support and be one at times. You did the best you could. 🙂

Ah bless you my friend! I think you writing is so real & alive it is easy to draw from one’s own life & see it in your poetry!
Thankfully my ex & I spoke the following day & he was feeling better & when I tried to apologize he said I didn’t need to…..I was VERY relieved as you can imagine….

It always hurts me when I upset a friend. Funny how a thought in my head sounds better there than when I put it into words! LOL 😉

Great poem. There’s also the quote, “It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt” by Abraham Lincoln (if the sources are correct).
