Qdoba

"how fresh is the steak?"
"uh... we grill it ev'ry day"
"I'll have the chicken."

...from the cubicle

sip. sip. sip. sip. sip.
this coffee is horrible!
sip. sip. sip. sip. sip.

Slumber

ANNOYED LOUD HONKING
"wake!" ...groggy consternation
it is just a clock.

tardiness betrayed
by green liquid crystal light
veiled by heavy lids

heavy crooked limbs
grasp her warmth under cover
found in quiet sighs

SHRILL SCREAMS OF PANIC
“wake!” … her voice sotto voce
muffled by kisses

defiant embrace
not ready to abandon
sleepy affections
