The Daily Dread

Yesterday

each moment apart
helps me focus on the ways
we were together


Being no one's fool 
The skylark frets not the sleet
They migrate away 



an exaltation
of the skylark become their 
own creature apart



On the plus side
I no longer mainline
Twelve cups of coffee
First thing in the AM
As I've done for years

I now sip five cups
From a thermos mindfully
Not on any advice I've taken
But because I have chosen to
Makes me a whole different
Creature 


What do you get 
when you open 
The White House doors 
To organized crime?

This.
