Out the door with a hurried “See you later”
as if I knew I the sum of my remaining breaths
as if Starbuck’s could pour a perfect potion
to keep me safe in all lanes at all speeds

Dawn’s light bathes the crib
Wide-eyed infant looks and sees
No time for crying
Fluffy baby swans
Only two left of seven
Snapping turtles’ lunch

The breeze clocks ‘round and freshens
Laughing sailors spring to tend the sheets
Necks crane to watch the telltales flutter
All hands eagerly the windshift greet
WELCOME!
