mmm muffins
do you
know
the muffin man who lives on
Drury Lane
and
does he keep a shop there
if so
I’d like to go
or shall I wait for cart-wheels’ sounds
to signal
that he’s coming with
his wares to sell
and we shall smell
and set
to buy by that
first thing
coins whose
scient is nowhere near as appealing
anxious trading
chittering as announcement
in
my pocket
wearing or part of a shouldered
purse
the bearer who
wants to buy for breakfast
and
then more

Ah
Skip it
The (really) longer stuff
It’s Thursday
Almost Friday
Almost sabbath
And the weekend
What will you do
For fun
If you have those next
Two days
(and Friday evening)
Something with family
With friends
Chores
Of course
Or to pretend
Prevaricate
With games
At the gym
On TV
In the yard
Or play in other ways
Or clean
Or study
Or do nothing
Well
Something
Always something
Even mitigated rest
Inside a world
Loving to demand
Maybe
Though
We release
Somehow
And maybe by degrees
The expectations
Of the week
Live differently
A while
Breathe deeper
Now and then
Read something
Learn something
Or read
Inside the mind
The text of stories
Flashing memories
Solidify a little more
So you remember
And can share
Even work out something
For the good
Well
Sleep
And chore
And play
And dine
And gather in
Maybe with others
Maybe with your thoughts
Certainly
If you like and can
You may go
Simply for distraction
For a while
Some
Heavy things
Can wait
