One end of a phone conversation

Overheard at work.

"I want to burn this weekend"
...
"Oh, It will burn if I get it hot enough"
...
"I love you"

Lucky Wrong Number

Woke me this morning
in the absence of my
alarm going off,
asking if Kevin was
going to school this morning.
Smell of coffee at work
reminded me of morning
coffees at hotels spread
across my past.

Click
I had a meeting
about meetings today
where I learned
my eyes click
when they roll back in my
head.

Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs

Can be recycled at Ace Hardware,
but beware buying indoor
floodlights and
installing them outdoors.
If only all lessons
where so simply
applied.

Gastroenterology

Bunch of 50 plus old
men and women
all hungry and
empty
laying on gurneys
waiting patiently
having just had
a conversation with
the check in nurse
not quite like any other.

Blog

Work has thrown
elbows on its
way into my mind
and the automobile
commute dims the
clarity of thought.
Can't drive and
meditate.

The Mall


What was I being taught?
I don't have a clue.
Maybe,
as I fled,
that walking with
direct purpose to the
parking garage
people will move out of
your way.

Task Master Gone

February has left
us,
leaving us a little
paler and heavier
but
one can not help give
it the nod for
making
March look like
deliverance.
