Jackson Pollock and

Willem de Kooning ruled the

‘Roost’ in the Fifties —

Still commanding our senses.

Demanding our attention!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My crayon drawing.

Abstract Expressionism.

Such dueling ideals

Flitting through youthful artists;

Elbow each other for space.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Read ‘Information’:

Never expect “5thStreet” cards.

Moment for error.

Player on the Button rules!

Just collect your Chips and walk.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Holding a glass-full.

Misty needs a drink or two.

It’s my; dilemma!

Please leave the glass half-empty,

Half-full is not great for me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Daylight streams in room.

Morning is not afternoon.

No time awakened…

Pound alarm into silence!

Spooning, comfy once again.
