Guest Check @ News Café, A need to escape the Grove

Staring at the black and whites on the walls all layered
with glass,
The photographs tripping me into the past,
Thirsty and she saw it.
Wanting to take off, fly, circle, to then land somewhere
else
In the same place,
But always moving, yes, always moving.
The splurge of lights
Decorating my celestial chess game head,
Next move…check mate, but I gotta get out of here.
Instead dark matter matters not
Forgetting that I’d ordered another drink,
A subterfuge to go and split like bananas
AND
Being wine-drunk on hope and hoping to make
That starry brilliant move out of here, out of this
predicament,
Out of this atmosphere into Zen DaDa-isms
Of a long winding wheat sided road into my vagabond
past
Tragic- pissed on-lost in the bliss
like a RipVanWinkle amnesia guest,
screaming about gelatin eternity,
raving loudly about the solidarity of the cosmos
that claims   for   us  to be
just   oh   so   still…
BOT OOOH NO!
That’s it! This waitress is just taking too long,
She’s just about to get stiffed…
WHEN, oh look…
My drink is almost here, I’m staying
And I'm not that miffed.
