never ever write a poem
after reading the newspaper
unless you intend to
counterpoint social injustice
murder or war
try a favorite cup of coffee
or sweet tea and a biscuit
cheesy omelet with toast and jam
anything to turn your attention
to the life in front of you
like what I’m watching
right now in my pond
two blue dragonflies
perched on a waterlily
painted by a ray of morning sun
