WEDNESDAY

Now it’s five AM
Then six-thirty
Cuban coffee
Now it’s seven

Then eight
Now Ten
Wednesday
Finally Eleven
I’ve waited all week

In comes the truck
To pick up our trash
The robotic arms
Grab our totes
Garbage Truck gone

It takes little
To amuse
Or to confuse, but
When the truck comes
It’s Wednesday

Now 12 o’clock
Then One
One thirty
Then Two
Now Two thirty
Then Three

Now it’s six
Then seven
Then seven- thirty
Now eight
Now eight thirty

Now it’s Bedtime
Reading and Prayers
Nursery rhymes, fitful sleep
Now 12 o’clock
On the other end

One, two and
Three or four
And up
To meet the day
With foggy eyes

Now it’s five
Then six-thirty
Cuban coffee
Now it’s seven
Time to start Thursday

“Give us the bread we need for today.” Jesus
