Things to Love

Morning brings some things to love:
the sun, frozen rain, silence, my blue mug, my momentary calm,
the friends I have, what's on my wall, the bag of clementines
I bought from Union Market last night, a bunch of bananas, my cheapo
reading glasses from Duane Reade, Bach at dawn, the slow way
I put on my favorite Deerhoof t-shirt in the morning like I'm in a movie
about a man in a movie putting his shirt on very slowly, texts
at dawn, my leather cuff, the Science Times, a dog that knows
a thousand proper nouns, James Schuyler, the wooden blocks of Paris,
my metal horse with wings, everybody leaves, everybody.
