Duty

Playgrounds and Pools.
Coffee, ice tea and a few donuts here and there.
Lunch with friends and a three-beer nap.
Dinner with friends.
A ridiculous yet funny movie about an office party.

This was my day
after waking up to news about
terror and assassinations.

There's not much else to today,
but this sedated, comfortable sense of satisfaction
and a long night of sleep
that will not end with an alarm
or sense of duty of any kind.
