Familiar

Five minutes now, then out the door.

And so this morning

In exactly fifteen minutes

I will leave to drive

To my familiar Wednesday place

On familiar Wednesday roads.

The light is not too much

Nor is it

Too little.

I must pay attention

To such things

These days.

And so

In eleven minutes now

I will leave to drive

My familiar car

On familiar Wednesday roads.

This is what it is

I am grateful for this beginning return

In nine minutes now.
