It Was Cold Today

But, I was warm as I soaked up sun

sitting on the couch in sun reflected

off air and earth and pool and deck

It warmed me outside cement block

covered in stucco home bunker

against hurricanes, building codes

since Andrew destroyed Homestead

I drink in warmth totally relaxed as

life settles down into normalcy where

no more insanity prevails as I go to bed

safe that nothing bad will come to me

Inside my own house there is no danger

sublimely peaceful without arguments

without threats, without mayhem

Peaceable Kingdom where I lie down

I sleep, I sleep, I sleep
