morning is the time
for rough drafts and coffee

*

morning is the time
for the siddur Mishkan T'Filah
for the poetry of Cid Corman
for silence
for all things clean & serene

*

morning is the time
for Alfred Starr Hamilton
for daydreams of Debba & 1993

morning is the time
for ignoring whatever it is
that I have to do today

in favour of a spell
of Just Sitting There
