THE LAST OF OCTOBER
Eagerly, I decorate
intensely for Halloween,
ever mindful that I'll be late
in enjoying it, being between
Orlando and home in a limousine.
COZY UP
Every Wednesday when I go
in search of someone to talk to who's
easy, pleasant, who might have dough
intended for blowing on booze . . .
Oily snake that I am, I schmooze.
WRITING AID
Eschewing sleep to write, I nest
in comfy, well-lit loveseat,
Etch-a-sketch in hand--my guest.
Ideas found in doodles beat
oblique ones. What a treat!
