self~explanatory, too many 100 mile+ trips,
taking a toll on a sleep deprived human,
the pattern unch’d, dabbing mine eyes,
to stay awake, precious cargo inherent,
and the poem dabbling yield little, giving
up writs from a priori, sans review, sans
an electric transference, age showing,
in too many ways..,
this is not an apology, ‘cept to the fifty or
so read my name with a loyalty that is
beyond appreciated - the summer of running back and forth, ferrying visitors,
the hum of the dishwasher a daily demur *******,
a timing event, and nobody touches the machine but me…(1)
a weak explanatory, but this my sorry storied explain ~away,
flatter myself the
out put will return to prior quality,
nonetheless, I feel keenly, my subpar,
performance and I will do better,
as I bend over the freshly cleaned
dishes of past poems
**a promise to myself
7/8/Do Better
not neglecting my shopping, ,restaurant’s planning, pool buoy,
all around schlepper, etc
