add it up

Another momentous occasion terminated
and dissolved into the past.

In hand a coffee mug,
that later makes way for a tea bag;
Cupcakes close by
and they look delicious and tempting.

A computer
and a screened view of things will make you believe
unimaginative reams of knowledge,
we are quick to print and highlight.

The past probably exists in some sense-
but those questions quickly collapse away
in the office and other particular places.

A deep breath and a resounding sigh suggests something;
something that will always be reflecting back
when staring into an undisturbed pond,
situated by the Frasier firs,
from the forest fire of 1745.
