The sun slipped
between the drapes and frame
to do a line
on me.
Usually turn
over and sink back into the dream
but today I
was energized.
Looked
outside and saw the people
dressed like
the invisible man.
Stood in the
window with my shirt off—
it was 11:30
and someone was smoking.
Put on
sweats and walked my dog, Luke—
covered my
mouth and stepped aside.
Walked
around the block with my eyes in the sky.
If it got
bad, I’d hate being grounded.
Turned the
corner and saw the ocean before me—
the deepest
blue with the bluest backdrop.
Bright pink jogged
in the distance….
Nothing to
do so I followed until I couldn’t.
At the
crosswalk, a car didn’t stop—I was stoic—
Luke enjoyed
the pause, anyway. Snif-snif..
As I climbed
the steps, the crazy lady came out.
I fumbled
for the keys—“Ok, have a good one!”
I closed the
door and took a moment—I don’t know—
Luke sat at
my feet, waiting.
“Okaaay” I
breathed, finally.
