"all the time" - new writing from early this morning - another product of waffle house

all the time 

in the corner 

in this place 

where they pull the beer tap

or the cork

or pour from their spouts

liquors of gold and clear

or multicolored 

with the sweetness of fruit 

or melon or some 

exotic herb like maybe 

wormwood or laudanum 

or the pureness of 
the product of bees 

and consciousnesses 

are either salved 

or pickled 

or raised 

and conversation ensues 

and is directed towards 

or away from 

mutual understandings 

sometimes towards 

a violent resolution 

or in the way 

of total passivity

or on the road

with desolate angels 

or neither or none

of these deviations

or distractions from just 

sitting at this bar creating 

the world with words
