DAISY petals fluttering past
PURSEd lips curving into a frown;
FLAIR for the dramatic does not translate to wise
GUIDEs or counselors.

Detail
CLEAN carefully the crown so
REGAL, my crown-cleaning servant. Be not
HASTY, my crown-cleaning
CRONY, thou hast missed a jewel or two.
Crony Vision
CRONY vision: spoils for me and mine,
CLEAN hands are hands I call clean.
REGAL is what a king can seize and grasp,
HASTY minds speak of truth: suckers.
First Impressions
REGAL presence:
CLEAN, noble, dignified, yet the presence of
CRONY and sycophant lead to
HASTY dismissal.

Stave off Meeting Blahs
PEDAL the last yards, swerving into
ALLEY–fumble, gasping, for garage key, hang bike from hook.
EMBED now the memory of the ten mile adventure,
TRUMPing every dead meeting moment that lies ahead.
Stuck In Your Head
PEDAL and cable from guitar to amp wears an
ALLEY on the floor, the tunes
EMBED themselves in your brain and
TRUMP whatever thoughts you wanted to have.

Cough
TOUGH was the cough; staying home cost me
DOUGH, rough though it was, lying home
DYING, reading Ulysses with Leopold
PLUME – sorry, Bloom – in the tomb of my room.
