Tired In The Afternoon



I was so tired



this afternoon



I thought



I would just do nothing



but I did



a little Kuan Yin practice



and she suggested coffee



and starting over



so as I was making coffee



I moped around the kitchen



in slow motion



when it occurred to me



that I didn't have to mope,



I could speed up



so I opened my eyes



up wide



and walked briskly



in the kitchen



but then



I stopped



and realized



that I was still tired



so I sat down



and drank my coffee.
