Sitting Slow and Drinking Coffee
Drummers drumming business
going door to door
with calico and camphor and clause
Strummers strumming thickness
of this life of strings
slick with commons to the cause
Walkers walking darkness
shedding lack and light
of various befores and afters
Thinkers thinking starkness
between start and stopping
on our endless trek for laughter
Then there’s me
sitting slow and drinking coffee
before new arc of rising sun
