the standard Wedge-walk
big ideas are discussed
but what of winter?
after lunch tea time
cooler every minute
—and now, disgusting
tea like fresh urine
“hot” water dispenser?
needs to work harder
in a coffee mood
I take it with some sugar
and a little cream
sky-garden menu
where’s my fucking benedict!?
order anyway
one and a half years
my teeth must be suffering
finally dentist
fear of cavities
my mouth a festering hole
pleasantly surprised!
lost and forgotten
my father’s disappointment
only in my mind
again no sugar
a resourceful tea-drinker—
strawberry jelly
a walk with my dog
my driveway each morning
several new ant hills
hundreds of people
listening to the radio—
which share my station?
trapped in the fast lane—
a gaggle of geese grazing
right blinker blinking
cotton candy theme
tie and shirt in harmony
sugar and cotton
tie and shirt in harmony
sugar and cotton
every steeped tea bag
mood and alertness improve
—the bladder alarm
mood and alertness improve
—the bladder alarm
thinking it’s still there
my thumb rubs index finger
“phantom ring syndrome”
A thief’s possession?
silent in some dark corner?
anywhere … nowhere
A four-day weekend
I’ve forgotten how to work
time to remember
forced to remember
how I hate being outside
—my new best buddy
Push My Buttons
