LINES WRITTEN WHILE BREWING ESPRESSO
Karen painting with water colors
Turkish coffee in stove-top machine
Reading Grossman's Life & Work
Dozing on front porch
The richest brew I know
Season salmon for grill
at Karen's return
Taste of banana pancake
in mouth picked up from plate
left on counter two day's old
moist in center
Old truths moist
and declared errors
Someone like myself
would have turned over their mother
to authorities in other times
for this treat
surviving another day
Why we now
Other times, other times
