The sun wakes up.
My writing hand tic erases
once I pour reheated coffee
down my throat.
I pine around to
throwback songs
as I wait for the ratcheted
hour hand to strike lightning
at 7pm as my man waltzes
out of work around then.
My floss rounding mind dances around words
I can't piece together today,
perhaps better left stuck
in a vending machine as
someone's fist pummels it
for the 1.95 they lost
on overly salty chips.
But I find the words again
and piece them together,
clearing off the battery acid.
