the recurring problem
of cleaning the anniversary
clock is that it is

easily knocked slightly skew
& the pendulum rubs against
the base slowing the mechanism

a second every so often
until I'm thinking it is time
to change the battery only

to remember the works
are likely just off center
reposition the front

feet a few twiddles & watch

red light on the flash
drive reminds me
of the flash drive
I think I lost

at the Golden Dragon
many visits ago
a situation I manage
to find embarrassing

by which I don't
mean to say celibacy
measured in days

don't matter
how much dope

or how little
with a probable

cause made from
a funny feeling

Alba called in sick
the day after the day
after Halloween
when her dad had
arrived around 9 pm
across the border
with a horse for
his toddler grand
daughter who dearly
loved horses & called
her Princess even
before she was tied
to a tree in the front
yard & photographed
by cellphone

cruel to be thought
as catching up
when it could be written
off as a changing
in pacing

touching to find
tonight an attorney
where I work

volunteers on low
power radio with
a show 5 minutes

every week about
words that a few
weeks ago

considered famous
last lines from
kings & actresses

& assorted other
noble utterers when
his mother had

just died

the oxygen issue
concentrated vs liquid
I try to get clear

with the doctor
insurance
medical supply
& my grandmother

is threatened
by neighbors
who want me to
contact congress
