wanted to write & went to read instead;
distractions attract when i should be at
work. Went to utter and was depressed
then came to your story. Isn’t it about
getting started?
On a raw cold day i cough, almost gagging.
Hacking away, clearing my throat, trying to
get the bad out of the way if i am to sing.
Lay down to watch a ball game and saw San
Franciscos’ Bay Bridge. The scene, like a
pencil sketch, swooping tracks over the
water, silver-grey clouds slipping by
above, in the twilight.
Your words started to dance when you got to
the music part; “..playing the very sunset.”
“.. shirts untucked..”, a nice ending.
