mango coconut loaf

sir ian mckellen in his interview to promote the play,
waiting for godot,
said we are all waiting for something --- consciously or not

thankful for the exercise of waiting
the wait for the atis to ripen made it sweeter

phone calls

i don't seem to get the same train seat three days in a row
there's always circumstances, like running late,
or a new person

thankful for the train
who takes people in, regardless
then spews them out, time warped

then there's afternoon nap

being up and out early in the morning has its perks
today, it is being in the midst of a thick fog
thankful my job forces me back to being a morning person

train mates

one wears a pair of pink flipflops
even in winter

the other a browned white chuckies

i wonder if they identify me with my shoes
or the orange water bottle i am carrying

a black brollie

time moves backwards
when i watch heavy rain fall

thankful i am not really going anywhere

laundry time

the sun came out on the first day of winter
not so much a promise of lesser cold

thankful a baby succulent has sprouted
