She wakes,
shaking off
2 full nightmares, complete
with story lines
& nothing for comfort
but the heady promise
of coffee still brewing
she paints her morning
with cryptic comments
in her Facebook status
that her friends
will “Like”
or read over,
shaking heads–
still trying to figure out
what “So sorry
that you had blinders on”
really meant
at that particular moment
***This is a poem (or fragment–can’t decide which) for my high-school friend Nancy, who I warned I was going to steal her status updates for a poem one day…..

Nice! Facebook comments can be carthatic and cryptic comments could be her own to drown whatever remnants of those two full nightmares! Your poems are concise but deep and say a lot!!
Thanks Noel–still trying to figure out that blinders comment 🙂
Her comment this morning about nightmares with story lines was the hook I had to bite 🙂
