Sandals or sneakers I can't recall
I should’ve been embraced 
By the warmth of my bed sheets 
Yet the taxi engine breathes on me
 
Cicada beeps a summer tune   
Twenty two
Frames blinked 
Golden tears 
Stream by stream
Down the iris of forest green  

Five o 
triple o
we continuously scend
To the highway 
Whales deep in a fish tank  
Nosedive to gasp an air

Wave

Standing in the crossroad 
A Pillar of ebony
Anchored down from the sky 
Dozens and plenty more
Tendrils sprawling from its core 
Tar black ooze vibrating on the veins
In unison
with tunes humming from the depths

Confronting the heart of Yggdrasil
Pesky ant like I 
Can’t outrun unless I fly
Pockets empty no tricks to try 
On the pavement 
an unwanted stand-off
 
Fright fight flee freeze 
Time to tactically fraternize 
Back straight 
Arm raise
Show my hand
An ambassador's move 

Monoliths unroot and crawl to the sky
Slithery mirrors 
Reciprocating a favor 
All hell breaks loose as the serpent take a bow

The only thing left to do is 
Thrust out my palm
Wave back
As hard as i can

Just another morning

Yawn, the coffee is salty today

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Just a fun one liner that I have come up with. My only question is should I keep it as dense as it is? or should I expand on this idea? Can you call something so short a poem? If yes, where is the line or criteria for us to define such a medium?
