3:15 Experiment Poetry 2011: because
August 14, 2011 3:15am
Napa, California
3:15 experiment
Because I lost my iPhone
I write by glow stick & full moon
Because Brett didn’t answer the phone
and Toni left town
I write in a vineyard
Because I have a sense of adventure
I write from the back of my Honda CRV
Because I don’t get the buttons
on the locking key on the car
a blue light has flashed all night
Because I am also a Girl Scout
I am prepared with a sleeping bag
the black down one I got when I
graduated from high school
Because I’m a dedicated poet
I am writing in the middle of the night
instead of sleeping
Because I am a dedicated blogger
in a few hours I will drive to SF
and go to WordCamp
Because this is an agricultural area
it is quiet and because it is
surely no one will be by
earlier than me
to go to work
Because it is the Perseids meteor shower
as I write if I get lucky
& I look out the windows
I just might see a shooting star
Because I am lucky already
I am surrounded by beauty
Because I am tired
I am going back to sleep now.
