We are stuck
in the middle of somewhere
just prairie grass and blue sky
with a ubiquitous buttery sun
front and center is a barn
big and red
its hue
meant to wake you up
and much like hot coffee
it burns the soul
leaving little time comfort
or room to philosophize
what we see
has always been what we get
