My Cup

AJ White 1966 (Maryland)

As I sipped my cup
From across the dimly lit room
I could see the sky caressing the moon
and life winked his eye
As he and time danced into the night
I took another sip
of my concocted cup
Reminiscing
Maybe trying to figure out how I'd lost my time
Laughed, chuckled did I...
or was that a howl?
Do you have something for discombobulation?
Mondays slip into Tuesdays
Weeks into years
What can I take for agitation?
So again I sip my cup of...
Concocted, mixed, Shaken... not stirred, fully spiced
Life!
