    although combined to unwind calculation,
    our nerves, a little numb, didn't notice
    the gas gathering below us:
    a yes-no-maybe box

    and the clock's counting pupil shifts
    here to there, without a steady lock,
    comparing the sum against inner intention,
    dividing the serpent tongue's
    taste for oxygen

    while we edge a double yellow line
    and gravitate toward the signed reward
    now that forward progress conformed,
    the roar of the festival
    enters triple digit decibels

    and we soar beside a thermal tide
    until an alarm's digital scream intervenes
    and the covers come away
    when colombian gourmet

    is wall to wall in the room and the hall
    and the kitchen cupboard calls
    for a caffeinated rush
    to crush the dream,
    start the day.

    I love it! How quickly we sacrifice the sanctity of dreams and sleep for a little jolt of caffeine. I'll have a new one for you soon.
