Years Disappear

Parents watch time pass
On grad party photo walls
Time loses its edge

Winter Lust

Why adore summer?
When it lets its blow torch loose
Sends you back inside

Menu Gap

Food truck tomorrow
No help with dinner tonight
Now we must forage

Retro Birthday

Out on a Tuesday
For a low-key birthday bash
It felt pre-COVID

Errands in Uptown

Wearing ratty clothes
Doused in garden dirt and sweat
Saw boss, met his spouse

Alex’s Speech

At graduation
She painted their shared journey
Before they move on

Botched Summer Milestone

Front flowers planted
Backyard reward time spoiled by
Dead animal smell

Disruptors

I saw Friday’s plans
Get shelled by nasty grenades
Maybe tomorrow

Strong Finish

Senior Honors Night
Almost left one kid behind
Proud parent moment

Changes to Keep

Curbside service choice
The quick fix online order
Please stay past COVID
