Thursday Morning

A splat of coffee drips on the hot plate
When he removes the pot
Hastily
Before the high pitched beep
Tells him the brew is ready

A 64 year old woman
Was beaten to death last night
With a hammer
Police sources say
Her son may have been behind the attack

That same Wednesday
The Supreme Court allowed
Gay couples to receive tax
Health and retirement benefits
Previously unavailable to them[1]

The newspaper stains his
Calloused finger tips
That tapped the keyboard one too many times
They now tap the counter
Tick tick tick
