The reasons why

are often based on fear.

But things will come out

sooner or later.

When lying becomes a habit

it is really difficult to break.

My daughter is having trouble with this concept.

Details

Attention demanded

Talking over options

Trying to find the agreement

Conclusion found

Headache pills sought

Dark room needed to lie down in

See you in a few hours…. hopefully

Knock on the door.

Charity asking for donations.

A bottle drive.

Ten minutes later.

A much cleaner, cleared out basement.

The kids are very happy.

Their parents … maybe not so.

My friend gifted me a color.

The style was suggested by the hairdresser.

I am glad I listened to both of them.

Compliments have been very nice to hear lately.

There is always going to be someone

that you don’t like.

So be proactive

and be the one no one else likes!

All it took was one night.

This morning

the bright yellow and orange leaves

litter the ground.

Fall has arrived.

Time to dig out the sweaters.

That one is U because of his wonky taill.

That one looks like U but is J due to the recent fight wounds.

That one is V because she immediately meows when you open your door

and then runs up and wants you to pet her.

That one looks like my cat but is outside so it must be L.

The smaller, skinner orange tabby is G.

That means I need to stay close to my cats should I decide it is outside time.

Back in University days

I met a bus driver.

I enjoyed talking to him

but he was of indigenous origin.

One day our conversation

turned to the middle ages.

I had joined a group that had fun

pretending to live in medieval times.

He liked the idea of recreating the past

and having fun as one of his ancestors.

To this day I regret trying to dissuade him

from playing an indigenous person.

To white privileged me,

Only European characters should be in the game.

Today, I apologize to him, even though

he may never know, and to all others

I have hurt by my ignorant biases.
