Little Affinity



Little Affinity

whether by fluke
or cause & effect
our inspired oath
frittered away in
slow
motion
I have
little affinity these
days for the frothy
tales of unmoored
minds & the cold
wisdom casually
flung in my track
in direct reference
to the funny-sad
stories I am trying
to tell

whether by fluke
or cause & effect
our stirred pledge
perished
            one
            day
            at
            a         
            time
I have
little affinity these
hours for busying
myself alchemizing
            fool’s gold

***

My bud threw ‘fool’s gold’ at me late last night.  I slept on it and came up with this poem for today’s writing exercise. Pecking on my commute is fun.

In propinquity,
Nic
