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
