A Spoonful Supreme

stale sun shines through thin curtains,
a downtown cheap room
for wanderers and blue people.
a quiet day
the children are smiling
the children play
the man
in the room
a wise and learned son of the cycle
sips coffee and stares
out that window
through the stale rays of that sun
to the green grass below
sprinkled in daisies
a bedding for lovers and children
and dreams and youth,
he smiles and knows.
the children throw
balls
cares and worries
adrift and trailing them
like dust on a comet
with marked destination
of destruction
these words aughta be life's introduction
a downtown cheap room
for wanderers and blue people.
