Office Space

Gracie the dog

Snoring softly at my

Feet

Stare at computer

Words won’t come

Temporary measures

Blast Freddie King

Book shelf stereo

Sound matches mood

Blues

Won’t stay there

Look around

Surrounded by records

Surrounded by books

CDs movies posters

My wife Kathy’s powerful

Paintings

Diego Rivera print

Of dancing poor

Fiesta of light

Shadow

All my life

Waited for such

Office space

Place to hang my hat

To go in good times

To go in bad times

There to wrestle

Written word

Try to make a

Difference

Do some good

In a tired

Yet beautiful world.
