Sunbeams

Sunbeams play in shades of grey        
In dancing shadows on the floor    
The tenuous stillness of early morning        
Not long to lie undisturbed,          
I sip my coffee and drift & drowze          
Thus begins another day  
      
Life chugs on in its unremarkable way      
Tinkling notes of a "Fool's Sonata"        
Express themselves in endless variation    
On a nonetheless recurring theme          
       
Say it once, say it twice,          
The fool never listens to sage advice          
Hypnotized and mesmerized,            
He waltzes in Time to sonatical echoes,        
Momentarily amused, oblivious, unrealized ...          
Blind man on a sinking ship.
