a new condo sprang up 
while I tried to clear a dried speck of tomato sauce from my glasses
I try to say good morning to a passing elder on the street
at once loud enough (if they like to be greeted by strangers)
and quiet enough (if they don’t)
we’re off to a good start today
trying, at least
spring’s in the air
a few months too early
but we’re here
we’re here
we're somewhere in here
