Something Isn't Right


Woke up anxious and looked at my phone
Wrong thing I know-- but there it was again
Violence unbridled-- lots of folks dead, done
I made sure not to look at the news again.

A Wasted Day

There have been so many of them

Morning -- Noon-- Afternoon--

Work And Work And Work again

The first shift,

The second shift,

Remember the milk

And the after school stuff.

That is just the way the cookie crumbles.

Time passes,

Trees change.

From the noisy, freezing air conditioning,

to over the top heating,

to the children's new tees.

Facebook reminds me-

A year ago you posted this picture and

you see this shiny eyed

Little boy

Who loved you

Once Upon A Time.
