tired midwest parents

Water breaks the shore
Warmth fades to uncertain winds
Pop music kills mood

Cinnamon Crumbles
Across fingertips searching
Joy finds your taste buds!

They turn privately
Crowd hides creativity
An idle thank you

I’m always stuck somewhere between being stifled and inspired by the crowded rattle and hum of an early morning coffee house crowd. “Should I Stay or Should I Go” floats through my head as I try to stay focused on whatever “work” I came here for.

I tell stories to myself about each additional inhabitant sharing the space, but I never write them down. Perhaps I should share.
