a day in the life
darkness consuming
upon my awakening
while the blood is cold
and muscles stiffened
on my way to a tai chi morning
I ride a silent road
and now returning, body loose,
eyelids heavy for my morning ferry walk
continuing my journey to work, reading Shakespeare
and seeing the words while falling asleep
yet soon it’s time
to leave the bus for a cafe stop
and mocha bought, the frothy leaf on top
concealed by whipping cream
but the words that come out slow
they flow into espresso double-shot
that lifts the fog before a client call
with necktie freshly put in place:
in a week or so my book is out
or maybe sometime thereabout
