From an estate sale –
pendulum clock. Westminster
chimes now count my days.
For whom the bell tolls

From an estate sale –
pendulum clock. Westminster
chimes now count my days.
I am the dull one, struck
mute by accomplishment
what I do, nothing.
“Read my poem? Please?”
In real life I’d get blank stares.
Here, you’re back for more.
Just over five months
This one four hundred fifty
Art or wasted time?
A haiku a day?
Not quite. Some days the tap runs,
some days it’s bone dry.

Like a lover who
wanders I return here to
check in now and them
They walk the carpet.
We eat takeout Chinese and
scream for our favorites.
Kid in candy shop
I dab on product in search
of my true colors.
TV morphs into
loser land infomercials
for acne weight loss
We watch bad TV
eat microwave popcorn feel
guilty not really.
