Enthusiasm
Today, I was enthused—
By the California poppies blooming like mad
By a cat that purred while I woke and another that hid under the sheets while we changed the bed
By a new black horse, sleek and shiny, in a paddock on my way to work
By the singing blue grosbeak
By the displaying Swainson’s hawk
By the hot tofu at the Coffee House
By the hot, sweaty sex scent emanating from a flower whose name I don’t know
By the pair of Western bluebirds and the pair of Western kingbirds outside my window at work and by the brush rabbits and jackrabbits jumping vertically in lagomorph ecstasy
By the prospect of a load of paper being shipped my way from John Neal Books in North Carolina
By my new Enthusiasm Tshirt designed by the fabulous Natalie
And
In spite of the fact that my bike chain needs oil and the fridge is still not clean.
