Coffee and words, always more words. Lost between youth & mid-life listening to others read their work applauding quietly while muttering about doing it better yourself. Dribbling words like splattering coffee on empty pages, stains on the sheets. How do you **** your muse? I like ****** notebooks Myself.
This is the oldest poem I have...was written in the late 80's at a poetry jam put on by my favorite coffee house at the time...the Cafe No in Portland Maine. I had been writing poetry long before this one...its just the oldest one I have now.- From Poetry Jam (on Toast)
