chatting about hobbies
the stunned look in their eyes-
once more- I'm other

morning prep-
working hard to get up
and feel the cold floor

morning chore
finding my happy place
minutes into shift

Sunday night
emergency room visit
not a place to park

busy week's end
being amazed at what i got done
and still slept

last evening
catching up over cheese fries
with old college friend

tragedy overload-
praying is all I can do
against the madness
