An Unscheduled Existential Stop

Worn-out old khakis, old shirt, and old shoes
Coffee maker singing its matins and lauds
Sunlight falling through the air like a yawn
A book left open from the night before

The cat posing prettily in the window
Pretending to be wholly unimpressed
By tasty hummingbirds beyond the glass
This Saturday of no expectations

When the best clothes for this holiday are
Worn-out old khakis, old shirt, and old shoes
