today was a transitional day
reminding me of another such day
childhood
the night before
the day we took a drive
stopping at the 7-up cafe
before the fireplace
with our coffee and cigarettes
acting a bit like adults
misbehaving
a bit
like adults
speaking a bit
like adults
coffee
and cigarettes
like adults sometimes do
was ordinary
looking back
it was the beginning
of one thing
the end of something else
something familiar
