monsoon accessory carnival
just the ticket to ride
when you forget to lift
the elevator with a pass key
when entering the wrongside car door
there are no traffic rules
but traffic rules
and water wets waitly
break fast before again
scan for sandals and hold for boots
awaiting delivery hardly prime
twice the ticket in half the time
these are the pieces we do without
boutique offices chandelier the lovebirds
porch the aquarium for receiving
backstaff frontstairs blacktea greentea
tell me how you'll ask for your
chinese lunch with rocky road paneer spice
banter bounty extra nice
shared exchanges twinkle tangle
work wraps some to-do list to wrangle
count the peanuts and plug the phones
dry off the shoes and unbuckle your bones
ghazals in the brochures
coconuts in the trees
honking through the nightdark
ocean - sorry, sea

side note
While this blog's original purpose was to keep myself honest in my practice of doing daily justwrites-- 10-minute freewrites from some unusual starting points-- it has meandered to occasionally include other sorts of writing, to address other goals, and to even include other authors. Now, its main function is as a sort of verbal/ thought outcropping in public view. These are not polished pieces, and most are completely rough drafts. As some pieces may be developed through revision, your comments are most appreciated.
