morning routine.

back at home

you throw apples.

here in your

temporary home,

you throw sticks.

mostly into the

koi pond at the

place where

i spend my

days writing.

you will have

to unlearn

this behavior when

we get back

to los angeles,

’cause i don’t have

anyone to clean

our pond like

they do at

the oberoi.

but you love it

so much,

so maybe,

just maybe

i’ll let you

continue your behavior

and i’ll clean

the pond myself.
