Tangled Time

Folder: 
And Time Goes By

This morning, the future arrived.

Inevitably, dawn drags on

in the light of once-great neons,

while old forty-fives play

"Send in the Clowns."



This day will suffice itself

like a tranquilizer

melting on an anxious tongue.

Like sour cream and coffee,

time curdles;

silver threads among the gold.



I lean out my mind's window,

and try to remember the past.
