GREAT ABANDON
When you take yourself
just a wee bit
too seriously
but warm late June
Solstice fades quickly
to false memories
Bob Ross using Alizarin crimson
on the tube
No one noticed
awkwardly absorbed
in their own life
glancing thru Brussels Lace
of unfinished beers
Painted clouds
fill empty spaces
and fleeting moments
readily replaced
we do so
with great abandon
