Another trip to the poetry vault

I wrote this twelve years ago while on vacation in Negril, Jamaica

PRE-NAP CONTEMPLATION

wobble-de-wobble
wobble-de-wobble
fan above twirls with compound eccentricity
a copter about to fling itself to the ground
wobble-de-wobble
tropical funk seeps around the edges 
of a mechanical zephyr
entropy ever ready to rush into the void 
should duct tape and tourist dollars fail
wobble-de-wobble
tenuous retreat hanging on holding out making do
making waiting a virtue
no hurry
wobble-de-wobble
don’t worry
wobble-de-wobble
‘bout a ting
wobble-de-wobble
‘cause every little ting
wobble-de-wobble
gonna be alright
wobble-de-wobble
wobble-de-wobble
wobble-de-wobble
