Last night
I felt my heart slow down
beating not like a metronome
but like the drip of water
from the rusty faucet in the kitchen
it was as if
my life was leaking down
on last week’s dirty dishes
Drip, Drip, Drip-  
right down on the cast iron skillet
landing
in the grease
from the fried baloney

A good brisk walk should fix that.  Stay well, my friend.

Guess that fried baloney was not digestable?
Nice metaphors here, Tim.

You've got to cut out those
late night snacks, Sir!

Well done...actually made me feel a little queasy.

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.
Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.
When I stray too far from beachland, it calls me back
