The enjoyment of time
Routines
Becoming the perfection
There is a uniquely
beautiful thing about
routines
Not just the lazy
everyday
kind of
routines
No
But the meticulous
soul invested
old choreography
As one would appraise
a good wine
equally so
I enjoy the
routines of the aged
not the act
of performing
no, no
But the act of observing
To see an elderly person
setting down their knife
just so
the fork at the perfect angle
to the napkin
perfection every time
To observe as they
set the saucer
and without any seemingly
rational explanation
like one would watch a dog
prior to laying down
turn, turn and turn again
then stop
reflect
Ahhh!
There!
Then comes time for the
placement of the cup
its handle always meeting the
finger
at the perfect spot
the supporting hand
on its rim
Such respect for self
Like the experience
of having paid
just a few Euros
and watching as
the Italian waiter
towel over his arm
the widest of smiles upon his face
sets the saucer gently
on the small table for one
followed by the daintiest of
cappuccino spoons
now he sets down the perfectly
filled cup
And for the closing act
he places a small
decorated Biscotti
at the side of the cup
and all this
for a few Euros
Some love a woman in red
Some love a man in uniform
I just love the beauty of
meticulously
coordinated
ROUTINES
