I like coffee cake
in the morning
warm from the oven
ask me what I'm doing
I say nothing truth is
always up to something
entertaining an idol mind
distressing my jeans
pressing the cuffs
retwisting my nerves
filling my cup up wit
scoops of lime green
pistachio ice cream
looking at a blank screen
tapping a blank page
trying to get into range
listening to surround sound
in a situation too complicated
in an incubation period
waiting to handle
serious conflicted
conflated confident
affairs of importance
weighing consequences
occupying space
can't sleep without
my sidepiece
pen&pad on the nightstand
beside me
