Annoyances

 

Small Annoyances


Cats

must think that

newspapers,

magazines

and IPads

are hazardous

to

our

health.


In themselves,

cats

are never annoying.

They.

Just.

Do.

What.

They.

Do.

Cats don’t care.


However,

whatever the question,

cats

are always the answer.

Sounds

 

Rain


Overnight rain falls 

with its own unique sound, 

blankets the dryness

of yesterday’s ground.

I see and smell it

more than hear,

childhood memories receptive,

some of them messy,

a few so beautiful,

knowing that beauty is deceptive,

even the strange,

not-quite-morning light,

which God has arranged

to begin my day.


Common Sense


After a somewhat lengthy journey,

spanning my entire life, actually,

listening only to the sound of my feet,

I think I have arrived at wisdom.

Tomorrow morning, perhaps

I’ll  arrive at it again.
