WELL PLAYED CLICHÉ
Folder:
THE DRUNKENING
24 hour minimarts
always seem weird
but a coffee jones at 3:00AM
can be a dangerous thing.
It gets to be time
for Lou Reed & Donald Fagen
and Tom Waits
with a snifter of Grand Merniér
and like a broken record
I repeat myself
and transform simple motif
into well played cliché
It defies all odds
and twists imagination
into Play-Doh clay putty.
and a few beads of sweat
will ossify into verse
or at least the inspiration
to give proper thought
to actually making the effort.
