A dairy product

that makes the black water

smoother, creamier

and far more palatable.

Sweetened ones

make them even sweeter.

Pictures are great.

They give a snapshot

into a moment in time.

Our eyes see what happened

and we enjoy the delights of that moment.

Only problem is

looking at that gorgeous plate of food

still does not feed our stomach.

It does not tantalize our taste buds

but it is a delight on our eyes.

So feed your soul with your pictures of food

and hopefully someday

somebody will recreate the dish properly.

Frustrations accumulate

And pour into the world.

Turn that frown upside down.

It takes less muscles to smile.

Stop using cliches

And be done with the horror

When your emotions run amok.

Do something nice to your self.

Make your brain happy

So you can be gentler to yourself.

Cat treats in the nip.

Bills sitting unopened.

Yearning for the sun.

Wallowing in the curtained basement.

Watching youtube videos

and ignoring life.

Until my youngest brings me a caramel.

Pharmaceutical supplies

necessary to manage symptoms.

Things we can control

and things we can not control.

Drugs, medication and the advise needed

when taking them.

Some of us

cannot live without medication.

Others who do not need it

do not always understand.

I want a normal life

but everything I take belies that.

Ownership is ninth/tenths of the law.

Yet whose law is it?

Is it right to keep something

just because you found it?

Stealing happens when you take something

that is not yours.

So what happens when you steal something

and then change the laws about it.

Can changing the laws really justify your actions?

I guess a lawyer might know.

Though their answer will depend on what laws they are defending.

Shower time.

Outside it falls.

Inside the skin is filthy.

Water is essential.

Love the liquid that loves you.

Looking behind me

Never seeing perfection

We want to be better.

Yet ideals are not broken

Merely changed

As growth becomes our mantra.

Don’t mean that much to me.

Anything I have to celebrate is minor.

Not noteworthy.

Patriotism is too engulfing.

Birthdays are awkward.

Maybe I could throw a divorce party?

Or just hide in my room

and let the children weep.

Foreman.

Overseer.

Criminal.

The person who decides what work needs to be done.

Whether ethical or professional.

He is not a dog’s best friend.
