slowly glazing the rags of gray women chagrined
at the sight of a hair fleeing tresses now thinned) 
sometimes billow like waves flooding naves through the night,

Every nail of rampage was tolerable,

Yet, their shadows fell so low.
Distances between them both seized screeching winds,
And I did hear each one of them bellowing an echoing blow.

then proudly unfurl and firmly plant
the damp flag of their faraway nation;

oh, how they noisily whoop it up,
strutting in chest-thumping elation,

When you let your eyes adjust
Don't try too hard

Breathing in the Sahara dust
Watching people wash the plants clean
Whilst...

Alligator alley always answers
Bringing bulbous batches of bubbles
Creatively and curiously cavorting 
Deliberately denying and distorting
Elusive energy and enthusiasm
From freakish forwarding fanatics who foresee
Glorious globs of grotesque gossip

In illustrious illumination indicating ideas...

It's not the cup but the coffee within.
Arabica beans, fair trade
organic and shade grown
often from a woman's cooperative in Peru
then roasted in small batches
by a local roaster.
I like mine dark  
but my wife likes...
