Shocker Wakening

dougb.72572 1951 (Ontario)

Free verse
Another shocker huh?

Right near dawning

The head does another number.

Shameful dream.

Embarrassing

Humiliating

Lost somewhere.

No cash or map.

Questions to strangers.

Every one disinterested

Or mocking.

Somewhere in old town Cambridge.

Rustic stone buildings.

Several boarded up

Waiting for the wrecker.

And all of these dream

Sequences are wrecks.

Probably some scary

Program or novel

Before hitting the sack.

Ever going to learn Doug?
