When the dog soaks my carpet
(I just took her out!),
I fantasize a machine
space age sleek on an uncluttered counter
dispensing a rare roast caffeine.
And I dream of a me -
a swish of sibilant silk
and heel clicks precise on the floor.
A woman spare and serene
like I can scarce hope to be -
but that's what dog piss daydreams are for.

I sometimes dream of the perfect espresso as well.. but I believe in baristas more than machines... Maybe I'm in love with one.
Love the juxtaposition of "a swish of sibilant silk
and heel clicks precise on the floor"
and dogpiss. Only you can write these things, much respectful love, Mosk
I feel you.
Oh how I do love a good coffee -- and that moment in which I'm having it, the daydream. My fave line here "a swish of sibilant silk" -- Thanks for sharing.
We can only dream.
LOL....dog piss daydreams - that has to be a classic! I love it! Perfect for today, when I have the Going to the Vet Blues. Thanks for the smile.
sometimes it's our daydreams that keep us sane ;-)
What a fest of juxtaposition. As only you can 😄
Much love...

I know. It's human nature, and I do it, too, comparing my inside to somebody else's outside, or some daydream or ideal or whatever. But, ya know, we are way cool in our own right.
Here's to escapism! A form of creativity, for sure.
Any yellow or clear liquid on my floor is dog piss until proven otherwise. But so far I haven't had nightmares about this, nor good dreams either.

I agree with Shay--You two ladies are way cool.
Somewhere over the rainbow expresso pots gleam. Loved it.
Great sense of humor! Dog-piss daydreams indeed! I dream of the perfect bike ride with the perfect weather. Dream on!
Sibilant! Wonderful!
