Home

Happy to be home,
I welcome kitty kisses,
my comfy chair,
the convenience of coffee
from my favorite mug,
no worries of my snoring
awakening my love.

There is comfort in distance
from the thousands of tourists
finding their ways to distractions,
even though I was one
just yesterday.

The crowds, the traffic,
managing frustration
among people whose
only purpose is
to have a good time.

Like me.

Still, I miss the easy,
natural way we settle
when put together
twenty-four-seven.

As my neighbor would say,
it is what it is.
