    a poem

    the grass widower awakes

    the moment I move my hand
    signals my cat as I awake -
    time to feed him and the ferine

    • off comes the apnea mask
    • off comes the eye mask
    • out come the ear plugs
    • allow the phone to disturb

    Tinky continues his assailment
    on my hands lovingly -
    hungrily... then my legs
    once slung to the floor

    groggily I sojourn to the kitchen
    split a can of cat food
    top off the kibble and a treat
    for Tink, create a buffet for
    Angel outside the front door

    trees waggle accusing fingers
    below a white patched blue sky -
    "you haven't written a poem yet!"
    they intimate accusingly -
    nose stuffed, eyes in turmoil
    I adjourn to the loo to spend
    a penny and a quarter or two

    afternoon medz drowned
    in a protein shake...
    check for texts on the phone
    drowsily death scroll facebook
    on my cell phone
    while my desktop fires up -
    contemplate the wood stove

    on Rhyme Desk now -
    two fingers fly as I contemplate
    Thursdays at Two's new assignment
    "medicine": check!... see L6
    Lol... nah, already created
    an acrostic on the fly last session -
    note my affinity for 'z''s:

    medz 4.16.2026

    medz for this and medz for that
    even medz to counter medz to...
    dystopian my lot with my medz
    zymurgy looking better every day
    .
    .
    now to post on my Padlet
    and my google.doc - then post
    and peruse on LitNet ---
    up to three fingers now!

    adieu

    who am I but a stitch in time
    what if I were to bare my soul
    would you see me origami

    Me too!
    A typical day for laughter and sadness.
    And that good for nothing Angel is still feeding at his second household !
