Parental Outsourcing

There is an answer
Where lice and outsourcing meet
Yes, it’s a cheat move

Saturday Submission

The sun was dancing
Behind closed curtains, I caved
And let my cold win

Summer Cold Request

Summer colds, please stop
This sludge is not for warm days
Winter might want you

Hello, Dishwasher

Its newness was bait
I grabbed the handle to see
Plastic parts spit back

Lake Calhoun in Slo Mo

Lake said “Slow down, look”
Ducks swim with skyline backdrop
Running blurs their stage

Reality Dose

The empty house breathes
At last I can hear my thoughts
They sound quite mundane

Defying Fall’s March

Entrenched in their rooms
The kids try to thwart time’s trek
En route to school start

Angie Times Two

Another Angie
With a plaid shirt and large specs
Shared name uniform?

Another So-So Meal

I eat empty food
Either out or from a box
Remodel fallout

The Demise of a Mug

A thundering crash
Concrete stopped twenty four years
Of shared coffee time
