Chateau Pl

Chateau Pl A sleep walk guided by reflections Although somethings were real Not the front entry way Or the stair case Or the garage for that matter Scrubbed and alcohol swabbed shoes Eating off those would've been though Pee sitting down! And cologne must not be detectable From more than an arms length away! Nobody wore it I think The closet could've clothed a small town And housed an elderly couple with a Pomeranian A parked Steinway on sleek marble Or maybe it was a Bentley, whichever, The keys were misplaced Handshakes are forbidden! You may speak, however. A stolli over ice seemed to be the only thing Not surreal Unless you would fancy triple dipping Beluga caviar with a vacuum in your hand surreal Or, perhaps, being seduced by homemade egg noodles Can you describe that atrocius smell? A Land's End catalog doused in kerosene Ties & cufflinks & Jackets on fire sale A whiff of ozone Darkness A hazy stare assisted by chirping birds and a gurgling salt water tank In an upstairs, 2 bdr. duplex A peon awakens a prince

Hi Skat, Thank you for the well wishes and so sweet welcome. I look forward to reading your poetry as well. Until this year, my last attempt at poetry was 1995. It's a relief to have found a supportive community that will encourage, while being able to return the same. Hugs from your new friend.
