Smell the Coffee

I've been trying to stop and smell the coffee a little each day - and daydream that it is being delivered to me.  I sit on my little balcony and witness all the signs of life bouncing around  the apartment alcove:  the faraway lullabies of  the 57 freeway; the moans of love-making bellowing the impending arrival of great satisfaction; a petit, red-throated hummingbird rests on the branch of a sycamore tree and frantically calls to a lost mate. The  scream of a siren on its way  to UCI Medical Center wakes me from my Neil Simon moment.  

Okay.  Back to reality.
