Wet Monday


Walt Withers





doors slam
as they clickety clack
officiously
in corporate clothing
off to work

quiet now
they've all gone
the rain drizzles softly
down the window

i turn off the phone
sip a steaming coffee
think about changing
the water in the carnations
at some later stage

luxuriate
(sigh)
in this perfect moment
of pink bliss and perfume bottles
under a big fur rug
nodding off

  3. As one who must make the trek to work each day myself, this sounds like bliss.
