Turn up the Base on I-90

Adjustment is everything.
Tinker with the knobs
every day of your life.
Turn a gradient to the left.
A delicate shade of west
in your lovely fingers.
Look: the sun is coming up
late. You can redial
night. Keep the stars
exploding forever.

    Poems like this will have a nice cumulative effect in a collection. This one relieves the angst and tension of some earlier postings. It balances the despair. Both kinds together will really work well
