Do I recognize the number?
Is it identified?
Unknown remains unanswered.
Long distance only if I call them.
Scammers will not leave messages.
Usually.
So now I just have to remember to check the voice mail more often.

Tragedy strikes.
Whether quickly
or seen in advance.
Neither are welcome.
Do you, can you move on?
Only time will see how resilient you are.
Sometimes Tragedies are simply Comedies not yet explored.
The future holds many possibilities.
Our imagination can take us there.
Technology is advancing.
Everyone is a number.
Take a seat and fly away today.
The internet is full of videos.
Kittens and Puppies being discovered
In situations unbearable.
People caring for them.
New homes found.
Animals that are loved
Make many happy.
It wasn’t a true vacation.
We never left the house.
Work still happened.
Life went on.
We were just in our own bubble.
Limited to the walls surrounding us.
Now to conquer the fears
Of returning to reality.
The weather is warming up.
People are seen more outside.
Friends greeting each other.
Neighbours waving Hello.
Animals prowling their territory.
The birds protesting.
The dogs insisting on their walks.
City life becomes more alive.
The greys of winter turn slowly green.
The brain processes happiness once again.
When the great fall
due to enemies from within.
I never understood
Why it was so selfish to think of yourself
When all you ever did
Was everything for everyone else.
Telling the world
You have problems
Doesn’t make you weak.
It makes you stronger
For those around you
See you as you truly are.
Human.
It is sad
To see someone lose to the struggle
Fought so bitterly inside.
I only wish
People also see
What that does for them
When the Great Fall
So that they can rise.
Too excited to sleep.
Thoughts jumble and turn
As the body resists the temptation
To relax.
The night will be a long one.
The coming dawn
Proves the day will be even longer.
An argument gone wrong.
The voices raised sound angry.
The neighbours are upset.
I hope all turns out okay.
Also listening in, not to be a busybody,
but in case I need to call the police.
Thankfully, most of my neighbours
are reasonable.
But we are all human
and humans have emotions
and sometimes those emotions
get the better of us.
The thermometer moves.
Colder.
Warmer.
Put it down.
It is freezing.
Go outside!
Who pays the bills?
Up it goes!
I was comfortable.
Put on a sweater!
I’m putting tape over the thermostat!
