Observation Spelled Out
Three Poems by Wyatt Daze

Content Fueled Blues
The soul was revealed
And quickly tucked away
Nobody cared, thought differently,
Or had anything to say
The great unknowns are nonissues
In this technological society
A cataclysmic event must come
To remind us of pride and mystery
Some future where truth matters
And I can walk naked without fear
Observation Spelled Out
Yellow flowers
Stained teeth
Cigarettes for breakfast
Followed by coffee
I pick the yellow flowers
Brush my yellow teeth
Put out my cigarette
And chug the black coffee
The flowers wilt in the dusty vase
My teeth are stained again
I walk to the mailbox
And retrieve my Amazon box
Flower seeds
Bleach for my teeth
Nicotine patches
And creamer for coffee
Some Party 🎉
Weird sighting in the early morning hours
Moon on high
Big long light lit up the night sky
I just stood there dumb and in awe
I supped another slug of alcohol
Then looked back down to my phone
To Google: “are we alone?”
Another notification
And I lost my train of thought
I returned to the party
To find my wife with my best friend
In deep, natural, and unprotected talk
You fucker!
I forgot what I saw
He thinks he knows it all
I’ll kill you!
