    A lil something I wrote a couple weeks ago:

    Begging for Change

    Scrolls of land unroll and spread
    from horizon to horizon as they take
    on water, forming valleys, lakes,
    mountains on occasion but mostly hills.

    Some western or eastern edge of the map
    off in the haze where line stops and question begins
    in the mid-western mind I find
    myself drifting over parcels of old water

    Confined in and obscured by the glassine
    box of memory—but thankful I still have the key
    and I still hold out my hat, crown down upon the scroll
    begging for some oceanic change of pace.
