[Mark A Becker]

Thinking in verse first thing in the morning?
Hubris, perhaps, or a monk's training,
though I don't think what you often share
is psalmody. Still, the scroll unseals
and I sense the day when your eagerness
will far outstrip your energy
so all post number two will be
is "First".

Always Something Brewing
I dream verse all damn night long,
yet come morning I’ll get it all wrong.
The first thoughts I’m thinking
get stuck in my head, still back there
somewhere in my bed.

My thinking is heavy as bricks
'til I have my first coffee fix.
