From Where i Sit

6 macbooks open:

people connecting

connected

sharing

global world growing, spinning fast

fast as the connection allows

12 brown glass bottles:

root beer soldiers

frosty

waiting to be warmed by a hand

 and silent

16 chess pieces:

the white and the black

one old Middle Eastern man

one old life-worn homeless man

no discourse on life, please

just 
 the checking of mates

2 women chatting:

the readhead and the one who isn't sure

playing catch-up

a hand placed on an arm

remembered
quiet laughter 
innate

1 camera sitting:

it could capture it all

but it would never see

the relation between them

stranger-family

community

check

am i getting closer

check

1 dog sitting:

obediently on a chair

observing

basking

listening

guarding

2 dishes shattered:

a cup and saucer previously whole

shattered

it's ok

we don't cry over spilt milk here
