Guidance

Ministrokes of good fortune
Moments everyone is talking about
Arranged in a salon-like hang
Proscenium, thrust, or in the round
Fate is the raspberry horseman
On a carousel of pale steeds
But crazy stuff falls through the cracks
You know what I’m saying.

I launched into my third brew
Roasted goats become tacos
Over simmering mesquite
My extendable pharyngeal jaw
Opened like a time lapsed blossoming
Of the gaping maw of an entrance to a 
Drive through car wash
Brushes flapping like slaphappy dervishes.

And I’m like
Safely out of range
Spray cast upon slurry seal 
Surfaces may be slippery 
I would be remiss
Reduce your risk
Unlock the magic
Download the app.

  1. I like the poem. I don't quite understand it. "slaphappy dervishes", "raspberry horseman" "Unlock the magic Download the app". I've read it several times and enjoy the images and words, yet leaves wanting.
