The Shop

Morning. Poetry today. This one's tight. :) Thought I'd share. Have a good day, wherever your adventures take you. I wish I didn't have to go to work, but sometimes, when I'm mopping, I meet some really incredible strangers. Today, let me realize that it's all about perspective...how can I see the tiny miracles within the interactions. How can I reach each person I serve. Or at least not be a beast. Ha, let's set the bar low. That way, I can only go up. Hope you like this piece. I dig it. Much love, C.A.

The Shop

The clean, fresh
sheets. The fat cat
fed. The fish tank
tomorrow. Whites.
The final spin.
The heavy weight
of spotless silence.
No, no ring
tone near her beige
bedroom. Far past time.

The cream Eldorado
is locked, three deep,
in The Shop,
where the filthy,
full-lipped mechanic
lovingly
smokes menthols.
Her pretty ride
will still make

the night owl.
