he to his meeting

dogs on their walk

me to my pickleball

like ants we scatter

into morning

with a duty to bring

something back to the nest

tidbits of food

maybe a surprising story

to tell over dinner

and as we lay back

and digest the day

one of us surprises

all of us

forgotten in a secret pocket

love

brought out

and cut four ways
