-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- my way of life Lounging on coconut scented vinyl traces of stuffed crab and scampi drift by Condensation gathers and rhythmically as if coaxed by the gentle lull of the surf it slips from the frosty sides of a frozen pina-colada collecting in a diaphanous pool on a bottomless teak finish smiling I look to the bow anchored so close to the towering palms I fear their seeds may crack my deck Giggling feminine voices turn my gaze upward to the sun as polarized silhouettes of hard glistening naked flesh approach a fresh goblet of island nectar is placed into my hand while smiling twin faces gradually slip from reality into the surreal digitizedcrimson blur of my alarm clock blinking repeatedly I toss back scratchy flannel to begin the grueling inescapable ritual. stiff icy fingers struggle with the keys My efforts harshly rewarded by that indigenous predawn silence found only n a dark snow-covered automobile. arrrrrrrg Tom Bishop |

Couldn't you have pressed the snooze button and extended that intoxicating dream a little bit longer? You would also have had more to write about for us to read! Enjoyed! Earth Angel |
