microwave door stands open

shadow-lines angle

the upper left corner

of its back wall

striking striations seldom seen

or appreciated, if ever

for nearly most of the day

whose appendages are these

atop the keys of my laptop —

gnarled, veiny knuckles

fingers, each back-of-hand dorsum?

sitting poised to transfer brain’s activity

to an illuminated sheet of paper,

I can’t help but question how decrepit and old

this body of mine has somehow become.

wet September,

grasses and trees adore you

I did as well — at first

now, I keenly await

the cool crisp of autumn,

winter’s hungry maw,

a grateful distant spring

Anyone else annoyed and/or disgusted by CNN and, more recently, MS NOW requiring paid subscriptions to open and read any of their headlined articles?!?! I’ve been a loyal CNN website reader for years, and it irks me no end that I now have to pay to read their articles. Up until a short time ago, I was gratified that at least MS NOW was available. Nope. Now they’re charging as well. Argh!!!
