Unconventional Breakfast Rituals (American Norms)
Coffee
that's just so freshly
brewed—
none other than
by
yourself,
once you stood up—
self-driven
American
morns—or
silver afternoons,
a nice mug for it..
(or some type of vessel)
accompanied by one's favorite 90s
music lineup & something for
the ears,
(like determining unduly cast away earworms)
during
the last week of September
and for the months after—
..could be an enjoyable sip
(farther, once more, in our roundabouts)
—could be a nice start
Author's Notes/Comments:
3rd Reedition (10.08.2022 [06:20]) Added the following, or beside the poem's title, as its subtitle: (American Norms).
2nd Reedition (10.08.2022 [05:56] ) Free verse was restructured by moving "—" in [deemed] more appropriate spaces because of its affective quality, like (perhaps) a function served by a "caesura" that could mean a lot, or contribute to, the conveyance of the verses' very expressive qualities (in or by themselves).
Reedited (09.30.2022): Added more content and more delineated tropes and shaped a more grammatical English in the mix up against one's switch between paradigms (of the vernaculars held or modified as part of one's evolving cultural history or embedded linguistic indentity).
