All day my eyes itched
as if they were allergic
to viewing my life.

The day after
Busyness is best
to occupy, medicate
you. Endings are hard.
High school
You’ll never again
feel pain, joy both at once. Be
so at odds with life.
Speak
When you unburden,
you hope listeners will care.
Yet some could care less.
Triage
When we run out of
batteries, we sacrifice
the TV remote.
Day after election day
I saw the losing
candidate cross
the empty parking lot.
Green home
Chuck tests our house for
energy efficiency.
We’re tight as a drum.
New furnace
Hadn’t realized the
thermostat had to be set.
Freezing at 60.
Preparations
Brought in the ficus
tree. Fallen leaves fly about.
Wind whispers, “snowfall.”
Globalization
Site Meter tells me
my words are read in countries
I’ll never visit.
