1.
Shops unlocking.
Morning drops.
Cream and coffee.
Ruined stockings
on the way
to the office.
Breakfast missed.
Slept in.
Grocery lists
unfulfilled again.
Bank hours.
School bus,
bullies, bruises
and bad dreams.
Bad teachers.
Blossoms.
Birds of paradise.
Bacon.
2.
Blue water in the morning.
Fluoride.
Floss. The postman.
The cock. The dew.
The old. The lazy.
The dawnwalkers
swinging their arms.
The drug addicts.
Morning alcoholics.
Men in suits
handling the news.
The blues
lightening up
after a long night.
The jazz musicians
looking for
a good joint
that’s still open
