this morning i wanted to make my coffee with cream and sugar
as if to give the day a heads up that i wanted it to be
rich
but i waited -
and instead of checking my email
or the Times
or my appearance in the mirror,
i went outside
where
the birds greeted me
the air pricked a chill
and a brown leaf stuck to the back of my heel as i walked along the sidewalk still wet with
the morning's dew
or yesterday's rain.
