justwrite 23 october

well there are suppositions
and there are glistening listeners
twisting into the spotlight
bright enough for the occasional bulb
plugging along plugged in
crackling out of step out of whack
back in again like a handful
of chestnuts yesterdaywarm
pockets full of vegetables
grown your own excuses
you were young and foolish
there was love at the table
time in the stable
sodium had done no wrong
songs sung out to dry
so as i was saying to the sun
let's you and me see this through
to the end of the day
and to play was exquisite drama
the charming kind with popcorn
worn slippers and a neveroutside
sweatshirt hurting for a hem
rambling into toughlove cuffs
scuffed into substantial advantage
the hood goes up and ears are in
back in vogue and other collages
the letters all mailed
female subscribers crying their hives out
spouting relevance
i am the answer chaser
we see the now come true
