journal of a writing man

Work in Progress

Waiting in Williton

Under the sycamores, branches
     heavy with a potentiality of propellors.
 
The radio whispers Beethoven,
     plays with the potential of
     piano and violin.
 
To one side an old man
     posts bottles for recycling
     each filled with no more than a boozy smell
     breaking as it falls
     becoming a potentiality of newer wines.
