TWO EVENING POEMS Monday, August 25th, 2008

Recently I have been inspired by my last events at the the wine store and while driving home and seeing the evening begin and the day come to rest that I must put pen to paper and record things quickly and immediately before they disappear forever perhaps. Here are two that I wrote inspired by brief conversations on the Connecticut Avenue by Dino the Italian restaurant.

I Wile While I
Waitin' Smi
Smi Mile
Smile Bit It
Of Kel Blue
Ellie's Bait
To Me Want Sate
I Am En Yes
Trap Sna Ra Rah
Snared Paired
Fla Fla Flared
Not Now Ever
No Way Spared
I'm Da End Of
Sn Hook Da Bait
My Mate ?!? My Ward ...

I write these quickly and rest pretty much on whatever word or break-up of word and phrases that occur to me in that split milli-second. I'm counting on it being the pure, raw inspiration. Perhaps sometime later I will be willing to edit these poems but for the moment I want them to rest on their immediate, unplanned formations that may or may not be logical, may or may not really flow or sound good. I hope they do, I do sound them out at least in part. I'm certainly counting on the serendipitous nature of them and that some of you will be willing to read them more than once and even speak them as you read them. Cheers, TONY
