WAX NOSTALGIC

Folder: 
THE DRUNKENING


I can't wax nostalgic

for penny candy stores

although I remember five and dimes

and I have encountered

rusty wheelbarrows

and enjoyed plums before main course

 

I'm left to fabricate my own myth

and find some meaning

in an upturned beer glass

and a single cannabis seed

sitting alone on a coffee table

 

Beer coasters boast my travels

but Neapolitan ice cream

is the only thing to lift my spirits

and I must look ahead

to plot out a new course.
