The Daily Dread

Yesterday

You were my first draft
Left glorious and unscathed 
That was our #moment
Then the real world rushed in
Forcing revisions on us



Before it's too late 
Send for ale and fresh horses
Siege necessities 


plastic surgery 
botox filler fakery
like peas in a pod 


You became my poetry
Fortuitously or ill-fated
Left glorious and unscathed
You were only my first draft


The time it takes to
Send the moment to my brain
Seems to take longer



nothing more useless
than unasked for advice, won't 
listen or follow

Profound formula 
X-rays times Y-rays equal
Ludicrous thought rays
