smoke, with a hint
of leather – succulent
spice from the cigar teases my
palette

Morning Coffee
M
My morning coffee
is as bitter as my Facebook feed.
I consume both with the same frown,
not sure if I love it or hate it, as they
give stimulation and
discomfort
in equal measure.
I've convinced myself
I need both, that I am somehow
less
without. So I grimace, and
keep
consuming.
Only the Godless
O
The best men and women
in this life are not the
holy
or the righteous. They
are not
found in the
church or temple.
We live in a world
where religious
virtue
is conflated with
bigotry, racism,
and hatred.
Only the godless are truly
good.

sum of the whole is
