I think I’ve had enough coffee for today.

with diamonds and caviar.

Peaks and valleys
ribbons of smoke.
Faint markings,
stories told.

Focus.

A mallet and chisel
waiting for use,
data carved into marble.

Nature occasionally
rewrites rules.

I wait for the moment of impact,
assuming it so due to the
Doppler effect.

4 x 13 = 52

and unpaid bills,
with the body and mind
slowly regaining its general
composition.

Draft revisions,
meeting agendas,
hard labor approaching fast.

Time for a walkabout,
to rummage through the urban rubbish
looking for the key,
perhaps it was a G?
(as in geometry)
An angle and arc
hold hands and bounce
on a celestial trampoline.

The trick is to know
why the cat jumps,
not how the cat jumps.

Eyes looking through
the Windows,
a sacred flame consuming words.

Great distances traveled to
discover the spherical nature
of reality.
Einsteinian space-time seals
infinity within our realms,
a very anthropocentric concept.
What genius speed-demon will
break the supposed universal speed-limit,
and why haven’t I heard of anyone trying?
A soap box derby of energy.
Speed may be a constraint,
is there faster than fast?
Instantaneousness?

The sunlight melts our
dreams and intentions
into the aether.

A dog growls in its sleep.

Circles and dots
a cascading of thought,
the vehicle follows
reluctantly.

a stronghold
in the distance
met with vision,
the battlefield
nothing more than
a gap in time.

Forgotten
once.

Pasties or Pastries?
I think I misread you.
If I knew it was going to be that kind of a party…
punch and kick
punch and cake.
Ear to ear grins.
Snake oil being recycled into an alternative fuel source.
A cocktail umbrella laughs at me from just beyond this keyboard.
Hit me with music.
Slaughtered grammar rising like a phoenix.
Waves wash over me,
cleaning the imperfections
but leaving me gasping for air.
Not really, but it sounded good.
I miss the anticipation when
an orchestra is tuning.
If leaf blowers blew hot air
you could use them to
blow dry a giants hair.
