today

i just sat

under the
sweet winter's sun

had
tons of chores
calling
but i ignored

took the folding black chair
to the front lawn
and sat
nursing
the cup of tea

the dancing plants
in their pots
some in bloom
some bare
kept the gaze
occupied

it felt good
the sun

i just sat.



there

_

later
from my window
i noticed
a black bird
on the same chair
which I hadn't moved.

the chair
is still there.
