For Ben

So much to desire 

during this time of coronavirus

like lettuce

and lemons

dinner with friends

Macallan’s.

It is good that I know 

our real wants 

are few 

our imaginary 

vast.

Discernment du jour 

has me heading each list

of absolute essentials with

the smile in your eyes

as you walk through my door

—my desire du jour.
