evening chores-
planting last of this year's garden
enjoying my work

sick for three days-
drinking enough liquids
to float a sub

afternoon project
weeding overgrown garden
now it's beautious

late night clean
going through the pots and pans
cathartic purging

in the bedroom-
stuffed animals on the bed
calling me back

phone call from brother
hearing his need to talk
forgoing sleep

after a long night
the floor in the office
is demounded

early morning-
hot second of calmitude
enough for today

Monday commute
velvet night still in tact
as I walk to the car

today's chores
interesting sides at Whole Foods
lottery tickets

chatting with life coach
explaining a stress level
12 out of 10

late dinner last night
baked chicken, stuffing and peas
melts the day's cares

warfare dreams
trying to make sense
after the battle

sleeping in
the coolness of the morning
lulls me back to dreamland

evening tasks
no science projects in fridge
bags of shredding

after the dentist
looking at the bright side
of having plates

early day
still not enough time
to get it all done
