A few weeks ago
Bundled for a winter walk
Now, we drive in rain

My Monday meetings
Lectures in the obvious
Classic mansplaining

As we dry our herbs
The cat starts her dill diet
We stop stopping her

Dropped our youngest off
And retreated twenty years
Started our date week

Blanket, couch and cat
Drive me to a deep sleep nap
Missed TV Friday

Moments we connect
Pull us back from outside life
Feels like time pauses

The idea of treats
Lost on my food critic cats
Their ancestors scowl

Chatted between songs
To cover copious thoughts
Our honed high school skill

The planning drowns us
It’s logistical Tetris
Every darn week

Utter dejection
When we mentioned our spring break
She’ll be stuck in school
