"Drooplets of raspberries"
and
"Parental love rather than condensation."

On vibrate

Supposed silent cell phone
moans.

How

My unconscious roils in simultaneous
dream and nightmare.
Conscious self, unbidden,  stacks, alphabetizes, squares,
measures, sums up and calculates an answer
by the end of the day the remainder is
increasingly outside the lines.
The truss in a heap by the bed
to be put back on the next day
by my own hands.

A journey none the less

With the bike in lock down
it does not move relative
to the living room.
However the bike does move me forward
from
pre-dawn dark to light of
day.

Two cubes over

Don brings his recently heated lunch
of leftovers to his desk and the smell
urges me to go heat up my
lunch and eat.
Rice,chicken,black beans,chick peas,peas,corn and
one pork pot sticker.
(Ten minutes later)
Nice surprise, two pot stickers!

Skunked

Once in cribbage and then again for real in the middle of the night.
The first was done laughing around a friends dining room table,
the second having been forced from my warm bed
standing in my front yard at 1:30 in the morning
wondering what the hell I am going to do.

January weather

Fifties yesterday,
forties today,
snow tomorrow.
