but then

rhythmic murmurs
fragile kisses
and
a Wild Thing
awakening
attacking with
unsolicited tickles

and
fresh sunlight
Chocolate Delight Special K Cereal
hot coffee
made by someone else

and
children in jammies
laughter in their eyes
hungry pouts in place
Halloween candy demands
yogurt and bananas instead

and
students
needing hugs
extra explanations
band aids
low grade fevers
phone calls home

and
leftovers
early christmas commercials
the new Sprouts ad
daydreams of
Barnes and Noble book signings

and
more love
than i know
what to do with

distracted
me

Spread the love
