the flower, so pale…

 

 

Taking my time

 

I hear every conversation,

I hear the fuzz of background noise

   that so easily comes to the fore,

I see the folds of the curtain,

suddenly of interest,

I see the flower,

so pale, in the rug,

theatre seats aren’t really comfy,

this waiting is for learning…

 

(I forgot to take my phone)

Book review: An Empire Divided

King George and his ministers

wanted the Caribbean sugar islands

more than they wanted the 13 colonies…
