Winds of Change

All bets are off; all plans have
changed. Morning pours down with
a steady and unrelenting rain.

The annual town parade has been
canceled. Car keys have once again
been misplaced.

And today of all days, the toilet
decides this is a good time to
overflow.

Last night’s dream remains
unresolved. The door screeches
on it’s hinges.

It is the season for reruns on TV.
Moths have feasted on the wool
sweater in the closet.

The boy has lost the mouthpiece to
his tuba. And given the torrents of
rain, there will be no parade today.

What in hell else is there to say?
Don’t even think about going back
to bed—There’s laundry to be done.
