Wednesday Morning #147
Un-applauded
or reducedÂ
to the ideas
of applause,Â
I have spent
today bowing,Â
practicing
my results.
Wednesday Morning #148
I am accepting
of pretend desert
slinking intoÂ
my reality. I want
fake threats
almost completely.
Wednesday Morning #149
Sunshine
& the blind woman,Â
all believers
in the franknessÂ
of reality,
the numbers gameÂ
strutting.
Wednesday Morning #150
Perfumed by Wednesday,
I reek of coffeeÂ
& want more coffee.
I rake hard for beauty.
