I’m wearing a blue T-shirt today
maybe red tomorrow.
The sun looks through the window
and a touch of warmth is good.
A touch of rain last night
just enough to sustain.
The housecat wants attention
and I hope five minutes will do.
I hope that a moment of tranquility
will do for me, as well.
The refrigerator downstair hums
and I look for a song to fit my mood
while a litany of lines run through my head.
I have just enough food for the next two days
and when I run out I can get more.
Friday a bartender said she loves me—
we’ve been such good friends.
One embrace seeks more
on another night.
I put on my shoes and jacket
just enough to cover me.
The morning lies still
as I open the door to the world.
Scenes of a river and trees
Fill the hour as I drive.
Looking out the car window
I'm living out my dreams.
