Sometimes it is a struggle to feel that one has WORTH. Is there a SCALE that one can step on in order to measure one’s value? Or a CABLE, marked in increments, to stand next to and in that manner, take one’s measure?

Carpe Diem

Concentration like SMOKE rising from the candle,
distinctly there, then dissipated into nothingness.
Yowling cat and the hum of something mechanical
break into the QUIET I want to DRAPE over me.

Time to HEAVE the weight
of this blanket cocoon.
Shock the system with cold air
meeting warm skin,
feet finding the frigid floor.

When I re-enter the fabric folds tonight,
what FABLE might be made possible
from elements encountered throughout the day.
What bedtime story will be told?
Will it have the makings for CABLE TV?
