start the tea,
cobble together breakfast,
read the comics, avoid the news,
we all have those
routines that are fixed
and certain, yet
most days
grace remains an
afterthought,
kindness (well, if someone
reminds us, we might),
justice whenever
there’s a major event, so
help us to make these
as much a part
of our daily routine as
get up, stretch,
start the tea . . .
