get up early
and work hard
broken windows theory
negative space
I get up early and move
forward
I try to greet the day with
a sense of thankfulness
there are logistics involved
tasks are complicated by
the absence of my companion
in this way i find myself
with a contrariness of intent
in a supermarket
indulging in cashews and biscotti
home again
the dogs are upset
-they wanted to vote
-they wanted to shop
they argue that their intent
would have been far clearer
the sugar and the butter
sink into my skull
heavy, slow, haze
-the morning stretches out
Thankfulness?
-a cool day
-good music
-some time to jot thoughts down
-and a hint of discipline
working its way
into the horizen
