Summer? Summer?
The only evidence of sun is shades of cloud.
Those over there being brighter than these over here
Gusts of wind blow spittles of rain against ones face
Dotting glasses with a moist film and causing shoulders to
hunch up.
The land glowed warmly only a dozen days ago
Allowing leisurely strolls comforted by pillowy blankets of
air
A short time later and now it slowly dies
Dropping leaves to the ground and driving the winged away
south
We bundle up and stare through the mist
Watching the birds abandon us, trapped here atop dying
earth.
Like the birds, the sun rushes away.
Rising later each morning, setting sooner each night
As if needing to be searched out and coaxed to come back
If only for a little while.
TUESDAY…
--- Work is steady.
Lunch with Melissa. Go to HMV
after work and buy the new Wilco CD.
Vinyl album to soon be bought too.
Need best of both worlds.
WEDNESDAY…
--- Work… fairly slow day really… physio… thought September
would be it, but the best course of action is to keep going until I see the
surgeon in the third week of October (sigh)… got to cut back at least.
--- Baseball was crazy on TV. Tampa Bay, down 7-0 into the 8th
while, in their game, Boston is up 3-2 going to the 9th. And still, in the end… Tampa wins 8-7 in
extra innings and Boston loses 4-3… and Tampa Bay goes to the playoffs. Wild.
THURSDAY/FRIDAY…
--- House showings that go nowhere and working night
shift. Not much else going on.
SATURDAY…
--- Physio and then a walk of the pond as my house is being
shown again. Cold out. I only do one pond lap and then huddle in the
car.
--- Get Sheila and head downtown for Karl’s show. A late supper follows and then home for a
quiet few hours before bed.
SUNDAY…
--- Quiet day around the house. First in a while. Some laundry… turn on the furnace (cold
outside)… some baseball on TV… and Boardwalk Empire plus the season premier of
Dexter in the evening.
MONDAY…
--- Showing between 2:00 and 3:00 and it seems productive,
as they call for another showing tomorrow evening. But a few hours later, this is cancelled and
I’m back to square one on the house selling again. Annoying.
--- Some shopping… got me a can opener. Life rarely gets this exciting.
