An Ode To The First Sip
Libation; to that word I make a toast
From sorrow, grave, to jocularity
I raise my glass towards my gracious host
And take my first great sip of scalding tea
The anodyne to all my earthly woes
And though I sup of coffee time to time
I gulp its healing nectar and compose
My head and heart to make another rhyme
From sorrow, grave, to jocularity
I raise my glass towards my gracious host
And take my first great sip of scalding tea
The anodyne to all my earthly woes
And though I sup of coffee time to time
I gulp its healing nectar and compose
My head and heart to make another rhyme

Comfortable with Silence
I’m my own man
understated
elegant in a rough way
a cup of black tea
in a coffee frenzied rush hour
not a pretty boy
I don’t do things to be different
I am different
if you’re looking for cool
look elsewhere
I’m pleated pants
in flat front chino land
no validation needed
comfortable with silence
wearing a 1950 black Omega Seamaster
wind up baby

Insomnia Sonnet
Do you think, then, that a tea is the most suitable?
Would it quickly calm your anxieties?!
And you could throw your shudders of fear to the ground!
The wings of thought would carry you on the breeze.
Do you think, then, that there would be no repentance?
That the waters would stop running under the bridge?!
That all the sails would thus gather to the pier!
And the siren would sing her charms through the night.
You brought with you the key to destiny...
You broke the lock of dreams so finely
that all silk seems to tear when you...
Would it quickly calm your anxieties?!
And you could throw your shudders of fear to the ground!
The wings of thought would carry you on the breeze.

And the siren would sing her charms through the night.

you-and-me tea
We may all hate
this janky two-bedroom place
and the crazy-glue that holds it together,
but you have to admit
it has the most glorious,
gigantic bathtub.
Somehow there's room for all six feet of you.
I bet I could scuba dive in there.
There's nothing better than soaking with you
in that clawfoot
in water that's almost too hot,
cheeks to cheeks and legs criss-crossed,
candles lit and music on
where we can touch and talk
and sing Sweeney Todd
and clean our systems out.

I don’t go out much
don’t like coffee, much prefer tea, and yet people are always saying we should meet up for coffee and I profoundly disagree

Master Jewelers
Some of them grew up on pot farms.
Young folks seeing the plants – As pure innocents.
(Perhaps a true form of innocence.)
Innocence, lost in air raids of helicopter swarms.
When the shit was banned, propaganda proliferated.
The term MJ – Signified something that would turn you gay.
“Mary/Juan” – A hermaphroditic human, or something?
Or perhaps make you play the piano in frantic madness, crazy.
Certainly, it was an attack on the people’s best interests,
A defense of the textile industry & other interests.

Beards & Breakdowns
It always starts with a beard -
The breakdown.
After days bleed into weird -
The falling frown.
Realization behind silver
Filaments, crawling
Under the surface layer
Of the lit up mirror.
Precision of vision bright -
Madness is quite
The sight
Tonight.
Gnarly follicles screaming.
Wild hair dreaming.
All seeming -
Freeing.
Like
Detachment adjacent
to
Detachment
Unhinged
Lunatic fringe...
Madness begins...
The breakdown.

Collapsed star heart.
Participant in the network.
Broken node perhaps.
Dark crystal vibration.
Space is a cold place.
Vacuum absorption clock.
Coordinates unknown.
Levity in the necessity.
Rituals of the everyday.
Machine work tremendous.
Void follows void cycle.
Purity turns to crystal.
Production takes place.
Centralized symbiote emote.
Wondrous and wonder.
Ongoing in unraveling.

Caffiene
He called it
coffee table artwork,
illustrations of a bicep
working,
a scarf around a wrist,
wound
contracting at the fixture,
a mixture of his mind
and modern relevance
made a mine that seemed
could be unspent.
His trousers were soft linen,
eyes, almost beige.
I could consider myself an artist
but the portrayal would pale
in comparison to that
coffee table artwork
and so
I distract myself with window greens,
ignore the simple hues of his
slanted nose and thumbnails almost...

Infusion
Reach back many dynasties.
Camellia Sinensis the tips so green,
the tender shoot.
Inscrutable is its history,
just read it's leaves.
It's tale of popularity,
That brew , that clear infuse.
Believe me; I conclude
such mountains it can move.
Stirred with an ear of sympathy.
The builders mug on a half built wall,
from the orient its rise and fall.
To calm your wild Neandertal
I think I'll put the kettle on,
to enjoy its song
Liquid ambience with family and friends
the whom you are, in sipped...
