they do not need a third

sit at the little desk with the fold down front, in the bedroom, in a corner.
write notes like these, try to ignore the family in the background.
Two people squabbling, they do not need a third.

The sun is out, stuck on a cloudless sky with only the white contrails of passing airliners to disturb the blend from desaturated blue at the horizon to deep blue at the zenith.

The son comes in with his Latin text, he now knows more of this subject than his father ever did. Holes are punched into the pages, and the work is put into a folder.

Sunday, and the third cup of coffee.
Somebody once said that the coffee market is one of the biggest commodity markets.
That is to be believed.
And add:
"review Portuguese vocabulary" to the to do list.
