Caustic words.

Anger and resentment.

Truth holds no sway.

Love cannot heal

what the soap continuedly washes away.

So much done.

One week

Wave as it goes past.

The next week

Same thing.

Days off?

Maybe one day.

Not today.

Waste Paper Basket.

Bin for only the non fresh paper.

Sidewalk.

Walk on the side of the road so the cars don’t drive into you.

Horseback riding.

Where else would you ride on the horse?

In the dark

Waiting for the power to turn back on

I listen to him grumble.

Reassured by his breathing

I calmly wait for him to get the flashlight

and laugh

as he stumbles around blindly.

No work.

Fun things only.

Movies and popcorn.

Drinks on a friend’s balcony.

Playing video games constantly.

Until Sunday night

and the specter of Monday looms large.

Head throbs.

Pain may diminish.

Sometimes it intensifies.

No matter what is done.

It always comes back.

I welcome the rain.

It cools me down.

The temperatures are high.

Wildfires darken the skies.

With the rain

I can breathe.

With the rain

I might have more energy.

No, I am not a plant.

Working on the computer.

On an important phone call.

In the middle of a video game

or even a board game.

Worst but sometimes the best one

is when I am trapped in the bathroom

doing my business

and she comes in

demanding I pay attention to her.

Yes, my cat can open doors.

I need you to play on the x-box.

That way I will feel uncomfortable

asking you to get off.

This will prevent me from playing on it

when I need to get other tasks done.

Will you do this for me?
