Predefined uncapped explanations
My mind rests on a river of thoughts
Black pauses
Knowledge is mutual to curiosity we slave
God masters
Provided answers

A doff of the cap
  a tip of the hat
Nowadays 
  we rarely see that

It’s not that 
  men walk about
unhatted, uncapped

Rather, removing the cap
  reveals quite a gap

in the bin
he 
dug up
2 empty coke cans
and
a plastic bottle
half-full
of electrolyte 
juice
which he uncapped
and
guzzled
in the hot
midday sun
while
the city shoppers
grew
bored
with their mobile
phones
and
mp3 players...

Pounding each key
like a Fender Rhodes
the computer bent and wailed
Bits and bytes
of encrypted language
messages derailed

Memory freezes
last chance rebooted
restart zero-sum
The riff uncapped
its printout fading
—typeface on the run

Dark day,
early spring
John O'Sullivan's
memorial bench

He sits,
watching river
run by,
jacket open

Bottle uncapped,
paper bag
from hand
to mouth

He drinks,
watching river
run by,
water's high

Glassy eyes,
cigarette smoke
clinging near
John's bench

He cries,
watching river
bottle empty,
heart broken...

in between sweet whispers
our hands got lost 
between the folds of 
yesterday and tomorrow 
new visions emerged 
sober thoughts from drunken desires 
uncapped possibilities 
like today never happened 
like our hands found a home 
between the folds of 
yesterday and tomorrow
no longer lost…

What a lavish verse you crafted..!
I'm spellbound at this gift presented

All I need to say that you're awesome
And thy pen is pretty wowsome

Seems you are Lord Minerva's kid
My child's birthday has uncapped the lid

Ever I am at thy feet
Trust me it's my true tweet

Let me extend my gratitude
For thine is an apt attitude..!!...

Dredging Thoughts
Written: by Tom Wright
February 2015

On the river of life
Of late I’m dredging,
Thoughts from aged sand;

My mind, like a bottle,
That suddenly came uncapped,
Pours forth long disregarded contents, 
From when life was good,
And mostly pleasing,

Things thought heretofore 
Forever trapped, I’m finding,
Was just capture and liberate;


The older I get, the more I have to remember,
And the less I retain.
