Never enough time

I cook mornings so
I can eat evenings. I call
it planning ahead.

Couch potatoes

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

Daylight savings time 3 – extra hour to bake

Pumpkin cheesecake in
the oven. Nutmeg, ginger.
Fragrant November.

Autumn night sky

Stars so sharp they are
holes in time, the past shining
into the future.

Daylight savings time 2 – Sunday 2 a.m.

How can one person
be so excited about
an extra hour’s sleep?

Bus stop – daylight savings time

7am could
be midnight. Kids stand on street
corners like hookers.

Seasonal attire

Wearing the mantle
of autumn. Cold starry nights
days of leaf-strewn gold.

Mid-day fix

I type furtively,
blogging an addiction as
bad as crystal meth.

Can’t sleep 8

I must be up in
five hours. It’s like walking a
tightrope…or knife edge.

Can’t sleep 7

I said I’d be in
bed by ten. Then midnight. Now
it’s one. How ’bout three?
