April 18th - Character Sketch of a Starbucks Regular

Jack of Clubs - Character Sketch of a Starbucks Regular
14 - Rondeau


Delivery


Within his truck in soft repose
Reclining, Nelson starts to doze
And dreams from deep inside his head
Deliverance from the things he said
Awakes to unfamiliar woes

In wanting to console these throes
He visits one of many hos
And throwing her upon the bed
He delivers

Once back in Brookline's muted glows
The giant man neglects his loads
Attending to the moon instead
Does Nelson, mighty arms outspread
         After the doors at Starbucks close
         He delivers



Another poem coming here tomorrow...
In the meantime, check out April 18th's poem from last year.
