fighting mad upon
Good Morning Sunshine
throw those covers off because coach didn't play
first half
25 years later

soft sips
my cheeks
skin touch love undercovers

you sat on the morning porch smoking the first
of the day
trying to refocus

while I
sat on your
swing-e-e-e-e-e
bench
watching the train roll on
     a blue cooler in the middle of the empty car
     made me smile
     wondering if it was on purpose
          traveling cooler

          or completely accidental from the working man

drinking my first

camp-coffee of the day

till we went back

artificial air

outside humidity

where

the day began

again

peacefully rising
