chat with friends
support flowing towards me
helping me to stand

dusk surprise
grass tall enough to seed
in the back yard

afternoon delight
a few minutes of peace
lunch from a friend

late night read
almost distracts me
from my achy knees

after fun weeknd-
not an ounce of energy
to do chores

weekend plans-
progress in the living room
finishing great read

saturday plans-
afternoon garden bus tour
before a work shift

evening
cleaning the living room
during commercials

morning break
Jackie Chan singing "Be A Man"
in Chinese with kata

evening plans-
wishing I had strength
to clean the house

in the garden
red crepe myrtle blooms
under white hibiscus

chatting with work friend
explaining a funky word
in a report

chat with sister-
plan to keep ice cream uneaten
and stay on dry land

Tired Tuesday
evening commute mantra
"keep your eyes open..."

Saturday chores
grocery run for a friend
Karma bank deposit

morning meeting
literary phrase pops out
room filled with cocked heads

rental office chat
telling them my issues
polite "blah, blah, blah"

running on empty
longing for a soda
reaching for water

dinner prep
favorite pasta on the stove
humming as it boils

new quarter push
packing breakfast and lunch
to try and eat
