Monday Poem and Gratitude List

Kamál (Perfection), 2 Kalimát (Words) 176 B.E. - Monday, July 15, 2019

Vapor Lock1

The inspiration is there
dawn still comes in all its scarlet splendor
lovers meet, embrace, fight, kiss, and separate
traffic flows, road kill decomposes,
stars shine, planets condenses, suns novae,
birth, death, and resurrection occur.

The inspiration is there,
but the flow is blocked
obstructed by stress overheating,
by bubbles forming between
the fuel pump and the engine.

Gratitude List for 2 Kalimát

Today I am thankful ...
          ...that my Bank of America checking account is not overdrawn today.
          ...for fresh brewed black coffee.
          ...that I have 300 points in my Survey Junkie account.
