Wind Blown

 

I’m not sure

Where it came from.

Thread bare as it was,

Blown in by the

Morning storm

Or dropped by

Some poor soul

Brow beaten by

The thought of it all,

In any case

There it was,

Bouncing on the slate

Floating around the tables

Creating cold currents

In hot coffee,

The possibility that

Nothing changes,

Only the subtleties,

The framing altered,

The shell game

Continuing as it has

For centuries.
