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.
The simple joys of the everyday

leaving the heart
she takes the stairs,
her heels click clacking down the hardwood steps.
she turns the tarnished silver doorknob,
and the door creaks open.
before her sits a man.

too far to hold
I catch a glimpse.
from afar,
the shine of his silky hair in the golden sunlight
his expression unreadable,
as if he's pondering something he'd never tell a soul.

watching him
Kathy watched out her window as Samuel left his apartment,
spit his gum on the ground
and lit his cigarette.
the same as yesterday.
the same as every day.
