Bright and Shiny

new, or new to you

square one, stepped upon

gold bricked Ozzy road,

we goad each other

kind to kindred kind

to mold elusive

satisfaction’s glow

with words. one more show

of hands for muses

melodramatic

cue. memory fades

yet ever new comes

fancy’s fondled feat,

to seat itself quite

squarely for review.

joy-jumped or jittered

while poetic bug

digs deeper into

off-tossed matters flue.

smallest embers burn

beneath the old made

new, or new to you
