MINUTIAE

Smartphone serenade,
birds chirping, soothing guitar plays,
easing me awake.
5:50 day begins...almost...
5 snoozes, 5 satisfied grins,
6:15 it’s cover’s up.
Dazed, somewhat lugubrious,
inching my way to the shower.
Wake the sons.
Take them to school.
On the way jamming to “Hotel California,”
marveling that a 16 year old still appreciates “my music”
Also, getting homesick…the mere mention of California.
Lunch prep, 20 minute nap,
racing to the bus stop.
Utter mi oración de la mañana, en español y en voz alta.
Secure in the notion…
that God listen to all our prayers…
even when punctuated by…
a how-dare-you-cut-me-off epithet,
with corresponding gesticulation.
Just in time, at the bus depot.
Cruising the HOV,
Thumbing my nose at car people….not really, in my mind,
which frankly has a mind of its own, we taunted them good..
I mean well.
Snapped a pic of a cool cloud,
as I am wont to do.
I see a beaver nooooo a sunfish, anteater perhaps.
Favorite podcast floods my ears, Marc Maron WTF.
Touchdown downtown.
Midst the skyscraper canyons.
Audio swapped to some aural caffeine, "Let There Be Rock."
An AC/DC history lesson.
I still choke up a little
when I hear the roots of rock riff.
Newly enthused I reach my desk.
Work, work, work!
Back on the bus, writing a poem.

"It's just another day, do do do dooo dooo,
It's just another day!"**
