busy with chores

it's interesting

when

i hear someone tell me that

they

have chores to do

today

and they can't meet for a drink,

or coffee,

or take a walk.

chores?  i repeat back to them.

what chores.

milking the cows,

colleting eggs from

the barn,

repairing the fence

on the lower forty?

it's not 1780.

what chores can't wait

these days?

just charge your stupid

phone and come on.
