A LATE NIGHT “SWIM”
Walking in his fuzzy slippers,
Down the apartment’s hall…
Making sure to avoid tripping
Falling and waking up them all.
–
Writing in the lobby after midnight
Eating chocolates besides…
Deep in thought while writing his verses,
Swimming in idea water slides.
–
Submerged in thought poetic.
Breathing as it were through his brain…
Fishing ’round for phantasmic fauna
To enliven words that spill again.
