Longer beginning

Some days require a longer beginning.  I skipped the workout this morning because it would have meant too many morning transitions.  God willing I will work out later, after my morning meetings.  Now I write, drink coffee, contemplate the cat.

I stayed home to write,

Claimed a longer beginning

To the day.

Later this morning

I have three meetings scheduled

In a row.

All need me

Focused

So I am here at home.

I do one thing at a time

From my chair.

Now it involves

Coffee and writing.

This is my longer beginning

No sudden transitions.

We consider the day

The cat and I.

I write.

He slits his eyes,

The morning nap.

I slowly move on

To cereal with fruit.
