Scenes from an Italian restaurant chain

After the high school
show they flirt over pizza
sodas at Uno’s.

No pumpkin pie

Instead, a pumpkin
cheesecake. Traditions are good.
Cheesecake is better.

Autumn precedence

Trees have never held
leaves as late as November.
Frost was wrong. Gold stays.

Get a life

Front-load energy
saving washer. Fun to watch
clothes spinning around.

Opinionated

I wrote a letter
to a magazine. Maybe
they will publish it.

Couch potatoes

Too tired to head to
our beds, my daughter and I
tag team sofa sleep.

Covetous

I’m soooooo jealous of
the brilliance of this blog name:
Blather. Wince. Repeat.

Artistic insight

Vision isn’t so
much a function of seeing
as it is feeling.

Creative class

with props to selfinterestandsympathy for this one 

I will often cite
Richard Florida’s ideas.
People stare blankly.

New furnace

Hadn’t realized the
thermostat had to be set.
Freezing at 60.
