Usually

Removing my clothes
in the presence of
a young women is
not such a bad thing.
Although it is a bit
tempered when they
say "You do have a lot
of moles"
and
"I didn't recognize my
father when he shaved
his beard off"

Corporate cacking on a cold rainy day.

The gracious and
unexpected gift
of scrumptious soup,
while it won't grow
back an arm,
it will grow back
a smile.

Snowy morning

She passed me,
with a cheerful "How you doing",
running in the opposite direction
when I heard the clang
of something hitting the
metal stanchions guarding
the bike path from motor
vehicles.
I looked around and she was on her
knees, on the ice patch that I had just
shuffled over,
leaning against the
stanchion with one hand.
She got up and walked then
ran back in the direction she had come.
Passing me again, saying
"That wasn't fun" to my inquiry.

Intersession

A whole plane
load of people were
delayed 24 hours so
I did not have to drive
in the snow.
Thank you jeebus!

Lizard brain relieved

The resister stack
was replaced with
skill and patience
releasing the fan speeds
one through three
from their premature
hiatus.
However, here is the
surprise. I felt
physically better as if
a low grade headache
had been banished.
Thanks UNDRDG.

Overheard at work

M. "Good Morning"
J. "Whats good about it?"
M. "Its payday"
J. "Means I got to pay my bills"
M."Its Friday"
J. "Tax season, I have to work on that this weekend"

Soon after

The Kodiak rose
from hibernation with
the stink of cow dreams
clinging to his nose.
A hungry rumble
shook the cubicles,
the corporate goat herd
tensed,
prepared to flee.

Bitch and moan

Like a lumbering bovine
I trudge into a workplace
cubicle to have a corporations
milking machine attached
to my mental teats.
I have drank so much cool aid
shackles are not even needed
to keep me there. Society
says this is good and provides
anesthetic to mask the surrender
of my ferocity.

half inch snow on black ice

The bike tire tracks told
the tale of treacherous
black ice. The fall all
to evident in the fresh snow
and someone,
perhaps the bicyclist,
wryly commented by
writing the word "OOPS"
in the snow.
