The Bittersweet of Getting On…


Sit inside
Black outside
early morning
Pane
reflects my image and fluorescent light
Glare glazes out the stars
The morning black as night
Simplest of all similes
The smoothness of the glass
Clues cast cloudy imagery- curvature
The lens I wear to read and write words
The one that blocks the winter wind
The one that says the earth is flat
And there’s no one reasonable to defend
My coffee cup
Sits there steaming
Sat upon my desk
Distracting me from everything
JFW’s Infinite Jest
How come so much bitterness,
And not more bittersweet?
Smell the scent of burning toast
Time to be getting on…..
