Accessories
sometimes
when I'm pretending
to myself
that I'm a celebrity
that I admire
it occurs to me
I can't remember
the lines
or how I even got here
from the previous dream
without the right glasses
befitting my station
giving away the truth
of my vivid fashion senselessness
aghast
the masses
must be
to see
such a boorish sight
as me
in this dream
missing the mark
of accessories
Breakfast
.
favorites
emerge organically
a surprisingly delicious meal
especially breakfasts
honey whole wheat toasted to perfection
buttered
just right
with a newly discovered cereal
whole almonds!
whole grain flakes!
pumpkin seeds!
dried cranberries!
dried cherries!
crunchy flavor potpourri
not to discount the equally delectable
lunch and dinner appeals
it’s just that
breakfast comes first
more often at home
where it’s personal
sometimes in pajamas
if a person wears them
so as not to get a chill
while reading the news
and listening to tunes
savoring each and every delicious bite

Distinction
.
waiting
for the time
I forgot
all the reasons
why
and why not
all the lights
are constantly aglow
through the night
near the city
by the boats
where the trees
refuse to live
and weeds compete
to survive the longest
as life forms tend to do
striving to thrive
against the ongoing threat
of distinction
while pretending
to be hiding
in everyone’s plain sight
in the broad daylight
.
.
Undefeated
.
slow
rotation
from elation
to despair
to reckless abandon
borderline panic
as time runs out
this circumstance
arises abruptly
surrounded by helplessness
hopes dashed
dripping with symbolism
for everything
relating to existence
on this plane
in this realm
at this moment
defeat
seems to matter
more than anything
except that
none of it
really matters
at all
