Good Morning! 2024

Do Not Disturb my phone is set

I wake up disturbed with the sunset.

A horn a honk a woman saying good night!

Good morning I open my phone texts reading

The day obituary “Miss you wish you

You were with us today.” It’s funny it’s not funny

My labor is in my head. I eat a young peach for breakfast

While (3) missed mommy calls go left unread.

What do you want? Like an endless alarm that question.
Families, burning trees, baby rockers, burnt bunnies,
Layoffs, Lipstick, Hetero-Happiness in a fumigated aquarium.

A son, a daughter, a Dad that smiles

A fat paycheck or better yet a fat smile

That greases the sky and boils the day longer.

Sleep schedule to ponder or party

In the last glimpse of the Sun setting

Eyes open with owls, nesting like mice. It’s over

For the neighbors, my coffee just started. Work back

Figure it out. 8:50 pm coffee for jobless daughter

Pregnant with the shame of night.
