Burnt Coffee

Flameouts there  

and thereabouts     while

tigers watch     old thoughts 

dismay young whipperwills


Another train got  hijacked     last scene 

heading-south new-tracks  

laying wherever 

you look    if you do     how 


about that road we're on    

Is it all  left 

turns     colored red

Does a rat bastard really ruin it


for everyone     Does living 

have anything to do

with it     can you think 

more than one 


at-a-time     is opportunity 

the incredible shrinking 

meme   slash    #hashtag

cloudshoverthoughts@ 


rattle-like     loose change 

in tin-cups      revolving 

planets 

and Doors


charge accounts too

meanders just 

do     why 

usually wonders     


Flat feet 

get caught     tiptoes 

rarely smile    if 

this itsy-bitsy 


piece and 

that itsy-bitsy 

piece are

supposed to


fit     why don't they

just     depends on 

the measure of

Can a judge not be

 
judged    wood-a-chuck

if-he-could    So 

it goes
 
this year of time
