morning rush

i turned off the clock and off the path
didn’t take my usual route.
a second cup of morning sunshine
while watching nature’s caffeine rise.
will anyone notice I’m not where
i should be? 
but she will know i stayed behind 
to give an extra scratch behind
her ears.
how nice saying ‘no’ 
to the morning rush
and simply let my fingers talk 
and enjoy a quiet morning with no rules.
i didn’t even capitalize…
