Day Moustache

Morning has come,
like the milkman used to,
picking up empty stars, leaving
a blue basket of Grade A clouds.

I have a haircut at nine,
grass to cut after that, then
the rest of the day is mine
to drink it in at my leisure.

you have a knack for making me look at the ordinary with different eyes. picking up empty stars, grass haircuts made me smile and drink to this day, as i expect i will do from now on, because of your poetry. :)
