A Wrestless Day


No one likes to be around a wrestless day.

Not the sycamore tree across the way

who thrashes the rain that won't allay,

flicking leaves into the grey ashtray

of sky seen through my home's archway;

nor the woman who deems her life blasé,

white-knuckling every word she prays

through teeth that mime a donkey's bray;

they both appear to bob and sway

on this blithering blustery wrestless day.
