Poetry For Everyday People
Here
Eyes half shut
mind half
inside a dream
feet touching the floor
yet a part of me
is still asleep
and I look at that
warm spot
that time machine
but the rudeness
of an alarm clock,
the reality of
automatic coffee
makers, appointments,
our day, need gas,
far away peace,
living,
far away novel,
living,
check the lotto
just in case,
I blow off
my hard
on (not speaking in acrobatic terms),
vitamins
bananas
granola
Wall St. Journal
I sit on
imported leather
bumper to bumper
the daily mirror into
reality,
lap top riding
shot gun,
Stress
restless dreams
long nights
of ponder,
reading someone
else's dream,
dancing
in and out
of anxiety
longing for my pen
my private soul
my other time machine
and I know
without a doubt
I need to
come home.
