Slow ticks "transferring document"
I await my internet connection,
a sound of thundered bangs and dents
from the garbageman in his collections.

The silly screen of flashing lights
the uncapped flask that I've been drinking from,
AOHell finally shines the site
one hand's coffee, the other's fingers drum.

My breakfast is what others write
from different hands come many different strokes,
often before day sees its light
I'm both enlightened, sometimes tears are choked.

My eyes focus, so too my role
I find a balance while my coffee's stirred,
some of you are the sugared soul
I'm drawn from solitude, sweet whispers heard.

Well by counting my "clicks" I would say this is the mainstay of my diet!  This was really very good Richard.

Damn, another great title, followed by more impresive words. That's my morning too. Balancing coffee and typing and reading.
Love this.
