classic

by Paul Cech / March 5th, 2023

drinking tea
listening to melanie
surrounded by books
writing materials
pencils and pens

sunlight window warmth
record spinning
the old scripto classic
feels familiar in my hand

goal obtained
no wealth
no fame
but
volumes of poetry
spanning decades

standing-up to live
helps to find what has meaning
helps to embrace what is loved
record turned to side b
the old scripto classic
feels familiar in my hand
