Fugacious

You know a Muse can be fugacious

run into them every so often 

nothing more or less

even to the point of forgetting them

And I have written about them before

You never remember some

others nonpareil

and there's never knowing which will be which 

(March 2021)

The wind is blowing autumnal, a tree in the distance green and gold

the color of my favorite football team who just won last night.

I'm sitting in one of those famous bookstores that begin with the letter B.

No, not that one the other one.

I wish I were in New England where the leaves turn early

and it seems we'll have an early autumn here, but you never know.

Solitude and lonely swallow beautiful in the fall.

c. 2000?

                                                          

 

For Ashley

The best four hours, thirty three minutes and

thirty three seconds

No hyperbole involved

although the chandelier morphed into

dancing skeletons

0 to 85 ain't bad just don't

hit a table but it looked like a chair

It is the smile that will get you hooked like a wino 

outside the liquor store at 9AM

Looking for the only late night eatery

after midnight

How can bare knuckled truth be this fun?

The nineteen eighties came gushing forth like an oil

well 

but wistful for another two hundred and seventy three minutes
