Tiny Respite

weary workday  
morning coffee  
on the step  
and for  
a quick minute  
the mind  
is all eye and ear  
and the world  
is only green  
on blue  
and brown  
on green  
and the tabby's
motor  
and the  
highway's  
early hustle  
whirring  
in the distance  
and no need  
nor want  
nor wish  
nor worry  
but just that  
verdant tapestry  
unfurled  
and the mind  
almost quiet  
but only  
for a minute
