another car breaks
wondering what Baltimore
has against me?

to tired to wake
my furry alarm clock
makes me feed him

busy weekend-
tons of babysitting
and great comfort food

weekend plans
babysitting infant,
and huge lap dogs

facing the weekend
cleaning for holidays
and new roommates

coming to year's end
the overhwelming task
of planning next year

through the window
seeing the world as it rests
for the new year
