The simple joys of the everyday

Somehow, routines, (when they're new, or new again,) are exiting. I mean, they get old real fast, but when they're new, and you feel like you've got a clean slate, that's a good feeling. Just the simple act of pouring tea from a yellow teakettle in a clean kitchen brings me joy. It makes me feel a sense of warmpth inside. Cozy winter nights by the fire, knowing you got your homework done just in time, John Klemmer playing in the background; Soundtrack to my winter homework nights. The simple act of putting a period to end a long essay gives off the same joy. A sense of acomplishment. So i've learned, respect now, appriciate and reflect later. Just enjoy the happiness of the current moment.

    a symphony of saxophone and jazzy drums plays

    for a crowd of men in wide collared shirts and women in boxy dresses

    in their hands are drinks

    martinis and manhattans 

    with glistening ice cubes inside their glasses

  • proximity

    we're so close. 

     

    I am wrapped in the touch of another 

    suspended in a state of contentment

    and soft safety. 

     

    the lights in my room are warm

    and in the mirror 

  • kid

    where the soft grass meets the sea

    is where you'll find her

    for eternity now.
