It is 4:03 in the morning
on the 7th of July, 2008
Anno Domini,
in Memphis, Tennessee,
I hope I'm not too late.
I've never been an early bird,
not since having heard
those tedious moral lessons:
how they're the ones what catch the worms --
yech! talk about your germs.
Let me brunch on butterflies.
Got them in my sights,
those efflorescent, effervescent
afternoon delights.
Sleeping in, my only sin.
I will arise and go now, go to an Inn that is free,
for I have spent all money
on a frappe of waffles made,
and I will soon be loud with snoring
before I even get laid.
I leave to you the linnet wing salad
and to lap up the frappe spills,
for I will be back in dreamland
twixt now and 6 p.m.
frolicking with golden girls
as long as my consciousness
stays dimmed.
Mike Geary
Memphis
