TODAY

Today I wake feeling slightly

Burnt

Tired and worn 'round the

Edges.

Should I swim?

Should I write?

Should I apply for disability?

Should I email my mother?

Only one thing was clear

Hafta walk Herm -

Herm's very clear

Make no

Mistake.

Hubby asleep -

He's goin' thru it…

Just goin' thru it

Say No More.

I opt to walk Herm and leave Hub there

Snoring and young

In that face

That I

Love.

Go for a swim…

Whole time, storm clouds brewing

Whole time thunder a here-n-there threat

But I swim a whole hour

And I never once

Died.

On the way home

Flooding ev'ry where

FOUR FEET OF WATER

Just off the Grand Central before Queens Boulevard.

Have to sit there and wait for the TRAFFIC POLICE

To get us outta THIS jamb.

I'm so happy

All alone

Listening to 'FUV

Chewing sunflower seeds...

There's 

Some indie chick singer, young like I use to be

So hopeful.  Pretty voice.  Singing live in the studio.

Like I use to do. 

She had a good band, too.

Like I use to have.

Get home, finally.

Hubby up, soon leaves for appointment.

I get to

Nap.

Up soon, when Hub returns. 

Walk Herman again.

Make us all dinner.

I serve up some brownies

Hubby serves up some Bowie

I love my life

It's been, and continues

To be

Pretty

Nice.
