My awakening this morning
more cloudy than usual
Little habits move quickly
though the day's beginnings
This pill with that water
That button on this screen
I learn this day's anniversaries
the tiny celebrations
that make some people
smile or cry
then the first food
with the second pills
Reaching for a pen
logging this day's first news
putting a brace on the left wrist
as surveys of a work area
look for changes
mice spiders or ghosts made
Plans for simple tasks
where to go and how
when to move the now
The mail will be there
it's not going away
like my going to get it
This push through air
the unseen clouds of Iowa
move out of my way
only to discover
I am just a branch
moved sideways in a breeze
