A stack of new books, an easily flowing pen, memories of my elementary school picnic
Worn in jeans, clean kitchens, candle-dotted bathrooms, central air
Party planning, list-making, Whole Foods shopping, shore-hopping
The new patio lined with trees and the yet-to-be discovered roofdeck
Yellow linen, hot laundry, the L train
Laughing out loud our office porn names from our first pets and streets and secretly finding mine the best (“Peaches and Cream Perry”)
Cracking open a new bottle of water and it being too cold for my teeth
The sun between the blinds, coloring out of the lines, coffee past when it should be allowed
Saying, “Buh-buh-bananuh bread with fuh-fuh-frostin.” Also, “spaghetti, spaghetti, spaghetti.”
Christmas in August, summer in winter, and any juxtaposition that combines my new bikini with anything else
The tearsheet of the Tiffany pin that looks like a peapod trumped by a handful of actual peapods
Walking over bridges instead of burning them, water under dams instead of flooding them, anything seaside at all
An hour and a half left of the work week and the hallmark of summer just moments away

Coffee is always best when it's past when it should be allowed, not least because then it allows more time.
