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.

  2. Thanks. I'll take a look under the hood.
