A Common List

by David Garner

baths and naps and pills and cabs
liberties and lunch breaks
you to dinner and a movie
refuge in a good book
friends for granted
it in stride

:I take them all

There's a linguistic play nestled in this hummingbird nest of a poem, settled into all the senses of "take" that I like. And especially the "you" stands out... like an egg in the nest.
