Phillip Coffey - Enough for Now

Enough for Now - by Phillip Coffey

No spring chicken these days - catching whiplash just about six inches
below the top of my crown. Coming in all contrary - shortly after high pitched
screeching sounds, sitting in my screened-in porch shed attached to the back of my split level house.

In one of his frequent naps below the swirling electric fans humming all of the
accounts of the season in breezy turns of revolutions thousands per minute - snoring it away.
