Making It Up As I Go Along #414

Beetle Life
House beetle upon the floor
Helpless upon your back
Rolling gently in the breeze
Legs hinging slowly
Trying to grab on
Nothing to catch
But reaching
None-the-less

A helping hand lowers from above
Trying to end the torture
Looking to fix the grief
Causing legs to cease
It’s the only defense
Perfectly still
Play dead

Lifted upon a palm
Carried to a wall of light
The opening wall of freedom
Lightly tossed
Airy flipping
Land with a click
Indoors gone

Outdoor beetle upon the deck
Helpless upon your back
Rolling gently in the breeze
Legs hinging slowly
Trying to grab on
Nothing to catch
But reaching
None-the-less



MONDAY...
— Work days... and survive. Physio is pretty good... shorter day there.
— Hockey game is pretty amazing. Jaro Halak plays one of the great games in Montreal Canadien history... 4-1 and game seven on Wednesday. But calling Montreal for three diving penalties is a complete joke. Garbage like that is what brings the conspiracy theories against Bettman. One dive was legit... the other two were made up.

TUESDAY...
— Tired day. Struggled some at work with heavy eyes... and napped a bit after I got home. Some evening baseball rounds it out on a cold, snowy day. Blah to that.

WEDNESDAY...
— Physio... I’m now clear for biking. Time to get the old bike tuned up.
— Montreal beats Washington to win the series after being down 3-1. Halak and Gill were gods. And the whole team played great defense all game. Washington are now the Eastern version of San Jose... and I’m quite fine with that.

THURSDAY...
— Work is better than the other days this week thanks to AFIS.
— Tired of how the media seem so outwardly disappointed that Montreal beat Washington. Even Canadian media sound like Gary Bettman advertisers... wanting Ovechkin to entertain us all and oh how the bad Habs robbed us of that treat. The NHL has spent too long worrying about getting star individuals or major US cities into the Stanley Cup final. When you’re disappointed that the Montreal Canadiens... the New York Yankees of hockey... is moving on... well there’s something that’s just wrong about that.

FRIDAY...
— Made it through the week at work... and physio is alright. Long week though.
— The Montreal vs. Pittsburgh series starts and is needing to rev up. Montreal looked tired and Markov going down is likely going to hurt.

SATURDAY...
— Laundry and cleaning... supper with Sheila and Melissa and Nick join us for the DVD of the best Saturday Night Live movie of all time... Blues Brothers.
