The day ambles along…

amidst sore muscles

and fingers made headstrong

by black coffee, or redbull

or some other angry fix

that could be made into a Johnny Cash song.

The elements toil towards fulfillment

and the cause towards its destiny

the life of a writer is inspiration and intent

the day ambles along submerged in classical music

Johann Sebastian Bach, Debussy, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, among others Beethoven frequents.

The arrangements too sweet

for my mind to shake off its numbness.

Life served out in dialogues, fabricated in word-counts, fashioned in conceit.

The day ambles along however,

Hitherto fuelled by a dirty dose of rhythm and beats.
