Catching Up

It’s not the coffee in itself,

I hope you understand,

I’ve been sitting by myself

And there you are — it’s grand!

 

It’s the is-ness of it.

The here-ness of it

Not the business of it

Just the cheer-ness of it.

 

So, let’s have a coffee.

Oh, sometime, you say?

Would  I make such an offer

If not for now, pray?

 

Let’s take the air outside

On these wooden chairs

Let’s watch people go by,

Stare back as they stare.

 

Let’s sip and sit, and talk awhile

Let’s chat of that and this

And reminisce in simple style

Catch up on things we’ve missed.

 

Oh yes, the world’s gone raving mad

Oh yes, there’s climate change

And yes, I do agree it’s bad

So very sad and strange!

 

And how’s your work and married life?

How is the neighborhood?

And how’s the fam. and how’s your wife

Did it all turn out good?

 

It did?  That’s the best news by far!

And how ’bout you, you ask?

Oh, look, it that a red Jaguar?

(I quickly don my mask.)
