EARLY MORNING COLD
Collaboration between Space Cadet (Wesley C. Cutlip and Darren White
Early morning
shivers
up my legs
but who cares
I can't feel them anyway
a soft gentle voice
lays a blanket across my
square shoulder
chessboard without
rogue
king
and all the pawns
as my carriage arrives puffing
with the brown-haired queen
I know so well
while she opens the door
she beckons for me to get in
and folds away my chair
Sushi wafts from the take-out box on my lap:
ginger,
soy sauce,
wasabi warm like the running engine
stuck in the overflown parking lot spot:
She and I eat the whole damn salmon roll lot.
