Desk

yellow
alarm clock
grey
notebook
pink
monkey
blue red and white
extra memory
this is my desk
my desk where
bad ideas come to die
desk where good ideas
don’t come much at all
anymore

blind moment and
i slip off the chair
and hit the floor
(i think it’s the floor
it’s underfoot)
but there’s no thump
just pure slump

nothing’s gonna punish me
but someone’s gonna run away
unless i power myself up
and back in the saddle
back in the seat for another try

to stare at yellow time
fog paper waiting
ape pale red pointing
flag memory

black pen
i forgot to mention black pen
biggest pain on the desk

hang onto the wood under my ass
and close the door
