Brooding

mind

don't mind me, please

when in the course
of human events
it becomes necessary
for one people

to brood,

i go to my desk
in the cold basement
and write declarations
of dissolving and assuming

but today:

i received a brooding lamp
from the resident chick
who keeps me warm

it hangs over the keyboard
to warm my fingers
while i type

and for my feet
a ceramic heater
it also dries shoes

she doesn't mind
being called 'chick'
as long as it's clear
what i mean

she looks
quite good
to me

i think i will leave
the brooding
til later
