Remedial

Computer in safe
mode like reading Dick & Jane
after War & Peace.

Reflection

Dressing room mirror
replaced by funhouse looking
glass. Not me in there.

Writer’s strike

Reality makes
me sick. Going through laugh track
cop show withdrawal.

Forced

Disappointment like
a kidney punch makes it hard
to smile through the pain.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

He had a dream but
his murder was our nightmare.
It’s time to wake up.

Theatre of the mind

Never read the play
before you see it performed.
There’s too much drama.

Face waxing

In a misguided
effort I peeled off half my
face and left the hair.

Undone

Intention shines high
above like a star I see
and dream of reaching.

Chenay Bay – Fourth day, Christmas Day

Green Cay Marina
walk. J gets stung, M watches
A Christmas Story.

Christmas triage

Not enough time for
cookies, cards, decorating.
Which one do I skip?
