the view from here

Asher is napping and Miles is coloring.
The dog is snoring on the couch behind me
and there's a fly sitting on the bottom
of the computer screen.
It's been sitting there for minutes and minutes,
like it's not sure what to do
like me.

Oh and there he is
so now I know.
Asher, calling out

The words on the page
will have to wait
like the fly.

The view from here pulls
and so I go to them.
No nap for Asher today
and this is how it is.

I do what I can when I can,
I write words or sometimes I don't,
because there's no predicting
or planning, really.

And it's very very good,
the view from here.
