Saturday

a poem

Morning walk

Perfectly overcast sky

Looks like it’ll snow

But it doesn’t snow here

All the benefits of the vibe

With none of the shoveling

Air is crisp, cool, and clean

And I feel pretty good for only six hours sleep

Brief, but delightful, dialogue

Accompanied with kind smiles

As I get my usual

Then continue on

Always a pleasant way

To start my Saturday

Hellish voices scream their hate from within the underverse

Grass beneath my shoes

One tied

The other loose

Remnants of morning grog

Sloughing off with every step

I fiddle with my ball cap

And hope that loud ass dog doesn’t rush the fence

He doesn’t

Too cold to be outside

But not cold enough

For the long sleeve shirt I wore under my hoodie
