First Summer Monsoon
15/30
First Summer Monsoon
Daily threats of the first
tepid, sometimes cool
light breezes often
partnered with wonderful
overcast skies
This pushes my mood
sitting on a beach, any beach
waves, waving, coming
tippy-toeing – Yes!!
I feel the imaginative frore
I will myself to forget
pending hell like heat
forget everything
and just breathe
or hold me breath
‘til this year’s 1st monsoon

glasses
On my desk, the driving glasses, a 15-year-old is in a right
mood for it has been a struggle
for the glasses to be
accepted again after I bought a new pair that cost me a fortune
The state of the art frame,
yet useless, but I will not buy new ones.
My old glasses
purchased in a small shop that had no pretensions of being unique as
master of Spectacles,
alas, you have to tell people you are wonderful and apex and that
cannot be surpassed or not, people avoid you and go for the
liers and cheats in suits.
I fell for...

I want a new world today
I want to see and explore it
As I have fun
In the discovery Tm.

Tired and Cold
I'm cold
And sad
And tired
I don't have the brain power to work
Yet I'm here
Pushing through the noise and chaos
I really don't want to be here
I just want to sleep
Better yet, get a good night's sleep
Haven't had that in a while
I don't know what my problem is
I'm exhausted
Some days I just don't want to function
Some days it's hard to care about anything
I'd rather be laying in bed under a blanket watching a show or movie or something
And sad
And tired
I don't have the brain power to work
Yet I'm here
Pushing through the noise and chaos
I really don't want to be here
I just want to sleep
Better yet, get a good night's sleep
Haven't had that in a while
I don't know what my problem is
I'm exhausted
Some days I just don't want to function
Some days it's hard to care about anything
I'd rather be laying in bed under a blanket watching a show or movie or something

Spider Senses a Tingling
14/30
Spider Senses a Tingling
In a fairly large Magellanic Cloud
more light years away than
I have fingers and toes to calculate
who am I not to postulate
a constellation, emulate
my favorite arachnid!
Why not! a Spider Constellation
embedded within a Nebula,
named Tarantula
in the 1750’s?
How do You suppose Explorers
came to the decision of naming?
Was it careless fright upon
a spider’s delight to see
the human fright
in a panic light, tagged
constellation the biggest ...

Games
One of my favorite pastimes is games
Board games, video games, card games
Almost anything you can think of
They are a perfect escape
From super easy to extremely complex
It's hard to find a game I do not enjoy
I love the adventure they take me on
And the endless laughter with friends and family
We get into so much shenanigans
And create many inside jokes
Some games I enjoy all by myself
With a cup of tea, a snack, and my heated blanket
Either way, games make the perfect vibe

DUP
boxes filled,
then hauled away.
a final look around.
the room cleared;
the doors locked.
the parking lot emptied
and a new beginning
............for everyone?

Techno
Time goes well at techno
I do not watch the clock
When it is going to finish.

Cloudy Days
Cloudy days are weird
It feels like time stops
The gray clouds never changing
Makes me feel very unproductive
And makes my head hurt
Temperature was cold too
Not helping its case
It’s been strange
Even the animals haven’t acted normal
Like they sense it too
As much as I want the day to end
I also wish I had accomplished more
But what was there to do
When pain leads the day
And the weather doesn’t help
It feels like time stops
The gray clouds never changing
Makes me feel very unproductive
And makes my head hurt
Temperature was cold too
Not helping its case
It’s been strange
Even the animals haven’t acted normal
Like they sense it too
As much as I want the day to end
I also wish I had accomplished more
But what was there to do
When pain leads the day
And the weather doesn’t help

The 40th Anniversary Of The New Coke
Coca-Cola launched their 'New Coke' forty years ago.
When Coca-Cola did this, it turned out to be a fiasco.
They launched their 'New Coke' in April of 1985.
It was not a success and it certainly didn't thrive.
Coca-Cola abandoned the old formula and released the new.
Millions of people were angry and some even threatened to sue.
When it came to the 'New Coke', it was something that most people hated.
Coca-Cola started making the original again because people were devastated.

Miniver Cheesy
I
Miniver longed for what he had once
simple plays and something greasy
He bid a glance toward happiness
and gave in so easy.
It was his nature to forget those days
and ever in short was appeasing
true fast food and rented movies seemed
simply more pleasing.
Pretty women and young guns
riding the miles high in achieving
to entertain the furtive vein
and in that exceeding.
II
When robot men and hooded grey cloaks
were the butt of endless jokes
and pepperoni...

The Sun-Scrubbed Room
Let me become an instrument sharply stringed
For all things to strike music as they please'
- Phillip Larkin
I
The golden ringed corona
gives way to morning
in attending its raised platform
summoned by the whims and wishes of
all who rise early enough to cast a squinting gaze
at the endless blue oxygens that halt dreaming
and drowsing in a fading twilight of awareness
to greet the usual quandries
that also persist in dreams
and resolve not by...
