MorningCoffee

And as I 
stare into the
deep darkness that
this morning is
like I’m peering
into an espresso
prior to adding
the clotted cream
I begin wondering
if like my
coffee the cream
that sunrise is
will cut the
bitterness that surely
day will bring

NowHow

I do 
I think
that I
am crazy
because explain
how and
never why
I know
the why
the why
never changes
it has
never changed
and I
find myself
right back
here every
time because
I keep
chasing it
so keep
the why
just tell
me how
how now
now how

Invention

I wonder 
sitting here
just how
many things
that have
been invented
were mistakes
and supposed
to be
something else
like us
I suppose
having been
one thing
you promised
and another
I saw

NotWhy

I know now 
what and the
what doesn’t include
a why it
does include a
when and where
and a who
all single things
which could lead
to my loneliness
instead this focus
leads me to
my marvelous life

DarkLight

I recently switched 
from something darker
to something lighter
I used to
enjoy darker things
like humor and
rooms like outlook
and disposition like
coffee and cigars
even my days
I preferred darker
But now it’s
light for me
light roast and
light beer light
skies and light
toast it’s clear
to me now
that darkness has
its place and
lightness another dark
when you feel
and light when
you can see
