Mornings stack like pancakes,
tea bags line up
from here to China and back,
some just run clear and continuous
one neverending brushstroke
and here i go again,
etched back into position,
in a masterpiece some obscure artist is painting me famous in,
all beginning where yesterday left off.......
cappachino , fruitloops, and morning blues.

Then there are those stinging ones,
opening shot of the famiiar decor
of bedcovers, wallpaper and nightstands
with leftover wine stains,
i ache with sadness,
feeling cheated,
like a newborn popping out of the birth canal,
or even more invaded
at times,
a hostage held, then released
shot from a cannonball,
breaking the skin of my destiny
whether or not i wanted to.

Almost like a spirit exclaiming,
"Help, I'm trapped inside this
human body ~~ and my body is
trapped inside the messes of
this world"!

Fabulous write!

Always remember to keep them fluffed
but, never, EVER ruffle them!
