sundays are a / shared morning

sundays are a breeze
the late-rising sun
the endless snooze

dressed in our best
huddled under warm
sheets in rest

news shows at noon
not leaving the room
dual supine perspective

then rise summoned
by sumatran or
columbian beans

grounds for waking
beyond the zone
of our comforter

ranking determination
priorities against
daunting domestication

beyond the remote
reach of each other's
occupational constraints

prior experience
posterior pride
and do not hide the warning

the newspaper stories
that escape the editor's
internal agenda

propaganda of real
estate offerings
ads classified by

shape, size, color, gender,
partitioning criteria
like our shared omelet

we say all and nothing
in a single solitary
sedentary, shared morning.
