Going Away Happy Hour

The time passed snaps back
We connected, filling gaps
We leave with what’s next

Routine Fix – Try Out

When the routine snapped
I found the unexpected
Left stale walls behind

Nothing to See Here

The nightly haiku
Battles against the blank page
This day gets to hide

Iran Whim

They grab microphones
With scripted whys that collide
Casualties mount

Sunday Speaks

Hush goes the weekend
Events and lists slide away
I breathe in the calm

Cooking Class – French Style

At cooking stations
We ventured into French fare
Experience gained

Change of Pace

Snuck away from work
And tended to my real life
The pace was sublime

Spontaneous Happy Hour

A well-timed invite
Yanked us from the week’s chaos
Into our friend space

Lake and Irving (again)

Chat with first-timers
While we dine at our refuge
Restaurant week lure

State of the Union 2026

The President spews
Fibs, one-off folklore, and gore
Our forefathers cringe
