Gear Shift

Coffee is calling. As I

make a fresh pot,

I see wild rabbits

gobbling up grass

below trees with leaves

turning yellow for fall.

The wind shakes the flowers

still blooming for summer.

Tomorrow they’ll wither and die.

If the day is a car, I can’t

find the gears to shift my mind

forward to housework.
