3 days grace

Won’t my handsome boy 

look great in this? 

Next time, we’ll use this grill. 

All restored. 

Finally a break in the weather. 

This was the worst year I remember. 

But there was no air conditioning 

Inside. So there’s that. 

It hasn’t rained in a month 

so I bought a hose

And water every morning. 

You can water by hand anytime 

With no restrictions. 

These 70 year old trees

Are thirsty  -

Maybe no water is why 

they’re breaking off limbs and dying. 

So are 50 year old men. 

They break off friendships. 

And die a little inside. 

One month to the date

 not a word had been spoken 

to me by my housemate. And that’s fine. 

It’s  Uber awkward. 

But I like it better this way. 

He contributed nothing to 

The management of the house - 

And little to our friendship

But scolding and passive aggressive ill- will 

Life with cats. 

Getting closer every day 

to my travel dreams. 

Eventually I want to travel all year. 

Maybe!
