it’s black and white outside
a photograph
later
afternoon before the rain
that’s all
could album this
(some do so
very
well)
wait for more
or
take in
breathe in
what there is just
now

Something Thursday
x
I’d like to say something
Thursday real
For the tenth of February
2022
Partly cloudy
(mostly cloudy at the moment)
Unseasonably warm,
Which is a good message
In and of itself
An old movie’s on
Featuring George Raft
Whom I haven’t seen or heard
Before
Many fell for him
Maybe there was swooning
I think he’s all right
The film is rather noir
So everything’s restrained
Except the violent parts
Nothing like
The violence in the movies now
You know this
In fact, the film’s in black and white
Though the blood looks
Real enough
To me

Sun is out
My black-and-white day
Is changing into
Living color

watching an old horror movie
was it a wolf i heard
or the growling of my stomach
the monster shrieks
i’m out of popcorn
the mummy beckons
a creature is remade
i keep you alive
yes
i do
i protest
i’m awake
the sun is up
all nether things this side of oz
are done
time for living color
time for bed
until tomorrow
after sunset
when things that make no sense
come out to play
with popcorn
