Sunny side up

The little road has quite a
few early cars going
to and fro
to work most likely -
cares of the day

the early sun strikes across
my room and I watch
the trees move, leaves
leaving as the season turns

sky is placid today, bright
clouds moving from
right to left, south
to north in horizontal
lit bands of pale blue
and white

jazz on the radio
and my world is right -
side up like a brightly
cracked egg
no fright, no alarms
