POEM OF THE DAY
January 20
Immersed completely in my own thoughts,
watching smudges of movement, rhythmic, familiar,
as my mind composes sounds into jazz beats:
mashes of background rumble, topped by sharper solos,
saxophone shouts, drumming shoes, trombone barks.
Sleep yawns in me and dulls my senses,
all in the cycle of rote, coming home.
