better is best

The smoky waitress cuts the cheese along side.
Low slung waist is at nose height.
The couple in the car behind me krumping synchronised.
The music coming from the stereo is mine.
The walkers outside step in time.
A colleague asked about their mother says she’s downstairs.
Coincidence or a sign.

The ragged edge of love is being hemmed.
The contact has come back.
The work ahead is always there.
The love of another is the call.

Tomorrow is a brighter day.
Stress is less and life works itzelf out
around strain and rest.
The time to live and enjoy the best.
