Slice of life

A half-eaten apple

A bite from a slice of toast

In the ripple

Of a life on this west coast

Tousled sheets on an unmade bed

Pillow indented where lay the head

Laundry-mid stream… clothes hanging out together

Waiting their turn to greet the washer-dryer

A laptop tangled amid a collection of wire

Spreadsheets beckoning hither

Phone asleep on the charger

A notebook open, pens and papers

Ready to greet a few new capers

A sketchbook perched this way

Charcoal pencil holding sway

Over a distant memory on display

Baked glass goodies, waiting to be put away

Paintings to be hung, thirsty plants on a tray

Were you to walk through my door

What stories would you share

From this personal slice of life on display?
