a day ending in Y
by Charlie Morganoutside a world roars, whistles and stomps by.
making black dots on a road map, folded-up.
a suit of quiet desperation donned for life.
shook, wrinkle-free for the stylish look.
off we go, pail for water in hand, gleams
in our juvenile eyes, Adulthood in our view.
lust packaged nice & neatly to appear as love
so to leave them all speechless, thoughtless.
some roofs leak with dead dreams; lost treasure.
a Century is a Buick, for some it is the time
between hot meals, warm baths, loving hugs.
a day's glow is effervescence in relationships.
