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
