The Week

Sunday, I take out a bowl.
Monday, a spoon.
Tuesday, open a box of Cheerios,
Pour a few in.
Wednesday, the milk.
Thursday, I spoon some in and chew.
Friday, wash the bowl and the spoon.
Saturday, put the bowl back on the shelf,
The spoon in the drawer.

Sunday, I take out a bowl.

I guess my over preparation comes out even in my writing. : ) It's always (usually?) nice to meet a fellow poet. Anyway, thank you.
