Poem-A-Day: Day 86

Juke Box Quizzical

Stop motion reverie
and the sweeping salivation
of salvation wrapped coy
in plastic cocoa dreams.

She sings as if trifle 
moments make her think
it makes the bigger difference
in song choice,

and it turns out it has happened to matter
on the one chance once
thought to be the time she’d
least likely regret…

because in the land of the blind
the one eyed man is forced
to recount the memories
of the past 1000 years.
