Any Morning
Just lying on the couch and
being happy.
Only humming a little, the quiet sound in the head.
Trouble
is busy elsewhere at the moment, it has
so much to do in the
world.
People who might judge are
mostly asleep; they can't
monitor you all the time, and sometimes they
forget.
When dawn flows over the hedge you can
get up and act
busy.
Little corners like this,
pieces of Heaven
left lying around, can be picked up and saved.
People
wont even see that you have them,
they are so light and easy to
hide.
Later in the day you can act
like the others.
You can shake your head. You can frown.
