Groggy
Falling again into the abyss
Of the bed
I forget that all is new
Until a snort reminds me
Then a bark
Then chaos
For no reason
The padding of little feet
And whiskers on my face
I don’t have any pets
Only now I do
The snow falls
The dog barks
(Again
For no apparent reason)
The water drips
The cat licks the milk
From the espresso machine
And the butter from the side of the pan
I write a poem
And no one wants to go outside
I look out the big, wide window
Past the cut flowers
And the water dripping
At a pine tree
And rooftops
I barely remember where I am
But wherever it is
There is much to do today
For exploring
I know nothing about this place
I’m not ready to take on the world
Just this neighborhood
I find myself in.
