Laughing at the Moon

Surviving Jury Duty

I made it through my first day of jury duty.  It wasn’t so bad… Aside from a lot of “hurry up and wait” today, I met a lot of cool people and played spades for hours.  Without little people interrupting every 10 minutes.  Almost got called to trial this afternoon, but didn’t make the final jury cut.  So back again tomorrow for day 2.  What will it bring?  More poetry?  Lots of time to think I’m sure.

Morning Commute

I will not slip softly

  into decaffeinated chaos

The delight of dawn

  incomparable

  to the luxury of liquid love

  and steaming strength

The escape to ecstacy

  from blessed bitterness

  and bittersweet beauty

  to voice of divinity

  and caffeinated clarity
