Balance

I must time my disappointments carefully
calculating the risk
of checking the cellphone message

against interrupting my late breakfast
on the brittle sun terrace

To diffuse this tension
this expectation
this message
this potential good news

must be nothing to me before I have eaten
both pieces of toasted baguette with apricot jam
