Typical Afternoon

Tis hot and humid outdoors 90 plus degrees
Sad I sweat windows down can't afford fix A/C

Transfer dollars bank to bank require usage ATM
Bank lobby men 'end of life' converse morbid Amen

Survival overheard gruesome details kept lunch down
Afternoon agenda shop closest supermarket hometown 

Slowly walk pushing basket up and down crowded aisles
Realization community frowners missing beautiful smiles

Six self-checkout machines non-stop spurt directions
Quick irritant customers chastise speak loud objections

Groceries onboard vehicle low mileage popular model SUV
Drive home low on gas unknown whereabouts station attendee

Grocery purchases unpacked safe cupboards some fridge stored 
Quiet time access PC mailroom partake personal beverage reward  

Surprise! Surprise! Excessive amount mail awaits thou view
Leave bulk of laughable contents another day posts in review. 

Fun choice write 'bout laughable afternoon excursion
Experimental follower count reader like versus aversion

Struggle feel abundance rejection writers certain face 
Older folk sad apparent limitation amidst beloved human race.

More ZZZs Please!

Several hours prior dawn
Darkness sit alone forlorn

Time daylight hours away
Overcome lack sleep pray

New segmented sleep pattern
Unfortunate older folk happen

Certain appear out-of-order
Wish become sleep hoarder

Resident apartment complex
Unable noisy whenever wish

Reluctantly turn lamps on
Minutes later glasses worn

Scribble notes writers' form
Concentration written poem born

Sudden widen mouth yawn begin
Follow tear-filled eyes origin

Signal exhaustion sleep please
Coverlet warm thankful more ZZZs.
