All laid-back and chillin'
I listen to 'Mandatory Marley'
a daily spot
on a local radio station
I tried to read my book of Zen
But laid it down for my poetry pen
I watch a fly
walking across my closed organizer
Even this fly I think
is looking for the peace
of this lazy
day
content to stay
camouflaged
against the black leather
I hear
the tic-toc, tic-toc
of the hypnotizing clock
And the sun does not shine
And the winds do not blow
And the rains do
not fall
And nothing
Nothing disturbs
this peace
this...the peaceful flow
of
this
therapeutic day
