"Five and a Half Minute Hallway"

A jinx of ink anchors
other jocund tokens.
The war, global warming,
a waning strange rainbow.
This, however,

I wake to the drone of an airplane engine

When will my time begin
when, when will my time arrive

So many things entangle in a velcro watchband
a rosy morning shatters on my velcro watchband

a swirling flight of birds spans cemetery fields;
an old song's frozen joy, this loyal velcro watchband

Graywyvern stands in line at nearby crowded Starbuck's
around his clever beltloop dangles velcro watchband


The Rescue Artist.


The End of Blackness.
