The Hard Problem

A grim 
cut on my soft 
right thumb,

smartly dressed.


The husky 
aftertaste of 
coffee, 

sustaining bitter pleasure.


Another sidewalk,
beige and shoveled 
(not by me),

freely inviting my easy, thoughtless traipse.


Things
like patience 
and generosity
are difficult to explain

but easy to understand.
