It felt odd to me to see a mocking bird in an all-business sort of mood.
The humming bird flew by and stopped just beyond my reach.
I thought of the thousand men that go up into the mountains to find the meaning of life and here before me was that meaning.
I did not go anywhere I was here.

hawking goods with no down payment;
spinning a yarn with stockings and bottoms aligned.

Black boxes warm with electricity lighten up our rooms repeating Gilligan’s Island,
charming Cary in a dark suit, a white shirt, and a bow tie
while our heroine sits and shines with jewels.

These are my morning noises.
