I took today off from work, which means I had a little time (and a little inspiration) for some writing of my own.
Overheard at brunch
I don’t like to wait
for anything
if I don’t have to.
not a boast
but a moment of candor
free of bluff or bravado
a quiet revelation within
the safe circle of breaking
bread and morning coffee
