keep it sharpened
i haven't used
the long yellow number two
pencil
in ages.
it sits in the little trough
on the desk
holding pens
and coins,
what nots,
paper clips,
but i keep it sharpened.
you never
know when you might need
it next.

lunch awaits
what could have been
new sports at the Olympics
i married the opposite
collecting dust
too many choices
the matador with red shorts
take it up with Him
a mild spending spree
chicken in five miles
a long day in the woods
the Ozempic ceremonies
the political coffee clutch
in the arms of someone like you
the night shift
covered in lilacs
i think the scale is off
there will be a cost
almost, but not quite
taking scissors to it
seven dogs walking
a life on the shelf
the bagel store under new management
the fifty-three year old GE furnace
it's good to be home
she tapped me out a melon
i miss hearing from you
just water please
men in dresses and spring board diving
a night at the opera
sticking a leg out the door
yesterdays coffee
the significance of the passage of time
dear anonymous
meeting Trixie for a drink
a different kind of love
quirky town delray
from sea to shining sea
home was hard
which contractor to use
no worries, it'll rain again
sorry to see you go
the playground
one bag of groceries
lemon cake into the night
whispering love into her ear
return to sender
starting over again
who to vote for
Captain Ralph's Crab House
just add water
to unburden what has been burdened?
intelligent design
or is this it?
lessons learned
but i know where everything is
flag burning
a recipe passed down
the truth in black and white
the pickle ball league
what you remember
more more more
we do nothing
when it's time it's time
don't throw your hat on the bed
finding love at the dojo
childhood revisited
the bow tie men
he's having trouble at home maybe
the mannequins in the window
deep throats
a drawer full of dull knives
running dangerously low on thin mints
finding an island
i was his queen, she told me
sediment and sentiment
carbon dating for seniors
the longest meal time prayer ever
we need the rain
shears are in the shed
better living through chemistry
who are these people?
leaving the party early
she seems a tad unhinged, but great teeth
little Bobby had the mumps
animal heaven
Verizon is the devil
a foreign language
the five layer cake
ex-wife number two, or was it three?
going to DEFCON one
thank you Andy Goldberg
what lies beyond this?
another episode on the next door report
the maple app
the crash on the other side
get off my lawn!
what are you doing today?
the next high wave
ashes falling
