slapped me in the face,
a thought did,
of a smile from afar
watching me scramble eggs.
with cheese and diced red onions,
wrapped up in a fried flour tortilla,
and how I dropped three eggs along the way for missy,
my labrador,
could only fit half my bounty on each shell
so the three orphan cats got their share.
and Missy got to clean my plate.
And I know she saw it all, saw the whole thing, though
she is 800 miles away.
