DAWN KITCHEN

don’t remember where I read the fiery sentence about
HAPPINESS
and
FREEDOM
but it stood out from the dead weeds and boiled rope.
claimed;
HAPPINESS AND FREEDOM
COME FROM KNOWING WHAT YOU WANT
AND KNOWING YOU HAVE THE STRENGTH
TO WORK TOWARDS IT.
I don’t cynically crush this cosy nutshell with a harsh mocking boot heel yet.

now’s not the time to think on this because
the
clocks
have
just
gone
back
an
hour
in their arbitrary way making it 4.24am
and
I am in no condition for hard chrome thinking.
my
eyes
not
ready
for
any
light.
I am nuking microfries because the smell is reassuring
but
the low radio
and
the left wine
and
the codeine calmness
join
dawn’s child’s touch in opening a melting stone.
