Wondering

wondering

if the boxes and shoes

and litter of paper on the floor

are metaphor or reflection

of an idle mind

reclining in its skull

if the milk in my bowl

is a metaphor

for the circular light

it reflects

when the kitten jumps into my lap,

a purring furnace

morphing me

into the guy who’s late for work

again
