they relax me, almost make
me sleepy,
but i'm prepared as i prop
my eyelids
open with toothpicks.
i make a strong
cup of coffee and sit back
as she tells me
about her day shopping
and what she's going to do
tomorrow with all
of her friends,
telling me their names,
familiar names that i
hear from time to time,
but get them all confused
with each other.
they all have plans to meet
at some point tomorrow,
unless it rains, and if it
does rains,
the entire schedule
will be changed.
she asks me if i'm listening,
i nod, and say,
of course dear. i hear you.
