Leftovers of leftovers

So I had this half box of curly pasta in the cabinet, some leftover alfredo sauce in the fridge that was going to go bad soon if I didn't use it within the week, and half a bag of frozen veggies in the freezer, along with a few pieces of frozen chicken that I needed to use... oh yeah, and some leftover cheese stuffed bread I'd thrown together last week that needed to be eaten before it got too dry and crusty.
Tonight I'm having the leftovers of the "leftovers" and it's not half bad. :) Trying to eat what's in the cabinets and freezer, etc. so that a) I'm not wasting a lot of food and b) I have room for fresher stuff.

Anyway. Slightly random thought of the day :)

words

Words. Words. Your words.
Do you realize what you're saying?

Words all look the same,
black and white
splashing in color
highlighted or bold
italicized
for good measure
capitalized
emphasized

What do you mean with your words?
Your tone, your heart
not so easy to convey
through plastic and light
on a screen

It can be
what you say
is not what was said
not what was heard
by the ears of the eyes
bringing their demise
or their laughter or joy
or pressing ridicule

Guard your heart
gentle reader
fearless writer
guard your heart
