toast and traffic jam
in the sweaty heat of morning
I shiver
doing marvellously well
startled thoughts awakening to day
hesitate freely
like a smaller wind
beware of the
angry faux fur jacket
the terrifically-funny scarf
and the good natured idea
for thoughts change like thin words
think with fat fonts
think with originality, hope and freshness
sing charmingly, always

Toast and a hint of bitter coffee…..
No bitterness in this writer, but great writing, Simon. π
β¦like thin words, ah yes.

Thanks for stopping by, Maxi. Blessings, M.A.
thoughts slide like eels.
I caught an eel while fishing, once — very creepy. It was like catching and reeling in a snake.
ooo … two of us once caught a salmon by hand, the salmon going upstream in a Scottish river, the river low. Then we put it on the back and felt sorry for it so put it back in the river to go on its way.
What a beautiful story! π
Love it Mary Ann, I see you’re still in that underground cafΓ©, full of cigarette smoke and aromatic coffee. π
I tell my screenwriting friends, if I want to express myself, I’ll write a poem… Mary Ann style. π Thanks, Laurie.
It’s definitely the way to do it. π

back should be bank …

Why, thank you! π
