dunking jasmine tea bag
in chipped mug
stashes a day
aroma of tea hugs cubicle
inviting mindfulness
among too many us
peeling beefy orange,
with short nails
tantalizing poetry
98-year-old man’s humming
glides past me
with speed of curiosity
gnawing salty granules
over the ground
snowman barely hanging teeth
skeleton of icicle
drips- - -
husband at home
messages me
cat dangles unfinished business
from back side
too many us
