The Sloth with Coffee
Sometimes you just sit. You drink
something warm, you do nothing
on purpose, you watch the sky blink.
And you are not anti-social, you
are pro-you. Even the sloth gets to sip
slowly. Even the gravel has somewhere
to go. Even the wind will eventually
hush, and the snowy hills will empty
in the spring.
