Breakfast in Amnesia

Breakfast seemed

Not quite a meal but more a waking dream
With bits of food that drifted through my teeth
Slowly passing
From plate to me
While my mind did so proceed
That all I thought
Was mere imaginings

My mind a fictive horse with wings
To ply the airy, surreal heights of what’s not yet
and what can’t be

In search of what amuses me

I often find myself thus lost
Before I find the muse accosting me

Sometimes with a wink
other times
With a playful pinch on the cheek
