Two Worlds

coffee and magazines

tea and books

two different worlds

the flashy and

the reserved

I have a foot in each

frequent dire miles

I am tired of
trudging to the bathroom
so often

so often
prompted by
the clear and
caffeinated liquid
that I sip

drip by drip
john and I are
joined at the hip

too much pee
all because of
my affection for tea

Complicated Humans

How is it possible
to miss someone
who lied to you so
completely?
How can you long
for someone you
know that you
don't want to
be with again?
Why did I dream
about you last
night after such
a long time?

Too Good to Explain

There are things that I
can't explain -- the deep,
tender ember I feel when
I hear good music, the
soft tingle I sense when
I read a good line, the
spiritual warmth I enjoy
when I'm in the company
of good friends, the profound
peace and joy I experience
when I'm in the presence
of the Giver of all good gifts.
