The coffee has gone cold
I can nuke it if you want
she says it's alright
so I turn to my phone again
the news streams keep getting worse
and I am a little dazed this morning
from yesterday's beer
it was a European brew
a little bitter
the ones that come in green bottles
with edged crowns
and lesser-known names.
It’s a muggy day
and humanity is almost on the cusp of a total meltdown
so we get on with the hours
like William Carlos Williams
would have,
through the narrow streets of Rutherford, New Jersey
after a home visit to an ailing child.
