A NEW DAY NOW – V
All for one
paper cup
of hot coffee
Now not as good as
I remember
of cream and sugar.
Now step across
public thresholds
private walls
pushing the heavy door
Now back forward enter
in surprised tears.
Now no more
the cream & sugar
the open pleasure of sitting
a favorite solace
the phone writes my lines again
a favorite place.
Now outside
on this cool metal chair
Now on this grey windy
October 22 2021
Now new mask new style another year
A New Day Now.
