January 2 Facebook status update

On the second day of January,
I sip
a hot cup
of freshly ground
Kona blend coffee
and stare out the window
thankful
that I got out of bed this morning.

You know you're getting old when...
you walk into a room,
wonder what you went in there for
and decide to fold dry clothes
before you remember you intended
to carry out the trash.

Saturday morning
bright sunshine and cloudless sky
jet contrail of white

Monday morning blues
clear haze free sky and bright sun
a slight breeze blowing.

You know you're getting old when...
you get most of your exercise
by going back into a room
for something you forgot.

Eulogy to my Coffeemaker

Rest in peace you beautiful machine,
You died in the midst of doing your thing.

You know you're getting old...
when you have to rest
from cleaning boxes
and getting ready to move.

I hear
the aesthetic echoes
of God's love
when I read
the writings of Baha'u'llah.
