Penny Drops

Penny Drops

peace comes with gravity

I mean, there is no true shoe

to carve our feet into

but that adage of the tinker

exhausted, hour-slave at the wake

to become  amazed by ocean views

these days are a sea change

of deaths come in threes,  a sleep no

more when nights on the porch provoke

enough of the kool aid we forgot to sip

sober millennial houseworkers unite in song

torn carpets,  unkept gardens are union brands

we know as we know movie quotes

oh, those with nothing to lose
