The Other
1.
There’s a weather break, or a break in the weather. The sky has cleared and the rain has stopped. Or is that the sun starting up again?
What a delicate business this is,
half-filling a half-empty glass, claiming direction over nonchalance, enduring summer for winters’ sake.
2.
I’d heard about things like this – terraced houses, feeling old at parties, that there are squirrels in the parks.
I saw one today, squirreling
and I wondered why I don’t try that too. With things, like happiness, for instance.
3.
Before I knew it, Monday had come and gone, been and done, like day-light robbery. But there’s always
another. Soon it will be
the Monday after and there’ll be time for this, that and the other.
