the steam rising off the steeping tea
fireworks that resemble Dandelions gone to seed
yellow leaves with blue sky behind them
Lenticular clouds
the way the old dog brushes her paw over her long dark nose
watching the candle asking the shadows on the wall to dance
the graceful, prickly arms of brittle stars
the piece of coral that Alex brought back for me from the mangroves of Darwin, Australia
the pouring rush of endorphins that laugh down your spine when you recline in bed
finding a perfect feather molted by a bird
the sigh of summer leaves as wind combs through them
imagining what the goldfish is saying to me
the last few lines of 'Waiting for Godot'
quoting lines from 'Star Wars' "TK-421 Why aren't you at your post?!"
freestyle midair dirt bike tricks
the rainbows that form at the bottom of waterfalls
the piercing, stark eye of the Great Blue Heron
old jeans with blown out knees
the way your scalp feels when someone else brushes your hair
watching fellow ants touch antennae as they meet and pass by one another
kicking through dry autumn leaves in flip flops
snail trails
raindrops plunking hard on the roof of the car
toe socks in ridiculous colors
making up nonsense phrases from the license plate on the car in front of me (for example: 'FUQ' becomes 'faulty underwear quandary'
feeling sweat break out on my shoulders and temples as I run
perfectly shaped wet (bare) footprints across a floor
