This morning was like a ten-cent cup of coffee

Nov 18, 2021

This morning was like a ten-cent up of coffee

weak

frothless

not worth the wake

I stumbled through the day

Even my garden gnomes laughed at me

as I lay upon freshly manured lawn

Birds pecking at bugs crawling over me

screaming for joy

I collected some remaining dignity

from a hearing-impaired gay grey nomad gnome

Headed to the café

behind the tabernacle's ten-cent brothel

@ the governor’s chateau

Ordered a five-euro latte (turmeric cinnamon hemp oil almond milk included)

Now

swimming through the day’s remainder

What a difference currency can make
