Beyond tired



Gull. Darned
bird eyes
my lips
as they
wrap
around the
sandwich so
I rip off
a crust
toss it
down
and within
the time
it takes
to say
I quit
the bread
disappears
in two
convulsive
gulps
the closing
bill a career
ending
with a sharp
black tip

Damn, that's good!

Thanks! A true groaner it is!

What are those, spare tires in the background?

Brenda Schmidt said...

Well, tires they are, but I don't think that dock would think of them as spares, though as far as I know docks don't think, and if a dock could, well, I don't think I want to know what's on its mind.
