Making It Up As I Go Along #435

If Fall was Winter and there was no Winter
If Fall was Winter and there was no Winter
The world would be a marvelous place
Sleeping cozily with window cracked
And quilt atop the bed, hugging you in.

Comfortable walking
No need of dressing for meat lockers
Jeans and a fleece are perfect
And soup makes for a wonderful lunch.

If Spring were Summer and there was no Summer
The world would be a marvelous place
Those leaves of red, yellow and orange
Falling off and replaced by young green.

Windows remain open
Furnace and AC remain off
A year round comfort zone.
Removed from sweat and freeze.

A planet discovered.
Far off from here
We can learn greater detail of it
two hundred years from now.

It remains fixed in space
Revolving around its sun
Without axis rotation.
Always facing the same.

Imagine life over there
Two hundred years from where we sit.
All day and all night sunshine.
Or all day and all night darkness.

But most of all imagine
Those places in between.
Like Fall and Spring
Constant sunrise, constant sunset.

The sun always on the horizon
Clouds always glowing as fall leaves
Red, yellow and orange tones
Splaying over us all.

Alien tourism
In the land of forever sunset
Honeymooners planning romantic trips
Enjoying walks along lakes
Watching the sunset along a horizon mountain range
Unable to imagine worlds with four seasons.

MONDAY...
— Some morning laundry with a little TV.
— Work in the afternoon/evening. Fairly regular with me not really feeling the groove. Too many distractions around me.

TUESDAY...
— Thai food at work is good stuff.
— Have a better grove working. The stats are better today.
— Some video game baseball both before and after work.

WEDNESDAY...
— Sometimes... people... pfft.
— Nice at work with some quiet times. Hang at breaks with Sarah some... Sanity can be found, when searched for.

THURSDAY...
— Filing tonight. First time doing that in weeks.
— On the drive home, I get a thought for a poem... and then it’s the goal of trying to remember the lines in my head until I get home to write them down. The race against time is won and I do it up and blog the thing there and then.

FRIDAY...
— Trying day at work. Too much silliness to endure. Louis’ Pizza helps ease the pain though... and the last hour or two is nice with just me in an area, plugged in listening to music as I go.
— Lunch with Karl before work was nice.

SATURDAY...
— Out for an hour or two for Anne’s birthday. Then off to the movies with Sarah and Phil. Fun time all around. The movie, The Town, was quite good.
