Starts at Halloween
Spreadsheet traps the holidays
My new weekly date

Is the air edgy?
Could it be the election?
Hope for relief soon

It’s now one week out
Despite facts, some like his show
Evidence be damned

The first gift ordered
Thanks to family text group
Holidays start now

The busy morning
Led to a slovenly day
Capped with a night nap

With bin and backpack
Boys come for a sleepover
Catch-up time with kids

We connect on books
Then stepped back to find the source
Lit majors, that tracks

Drive to the airport
Ends a week of alone time
Tried on a sloth’s life

College alum call
Pulled me back to past choices
That got me to now

The shards were a plate
Hand-painted for our old cats
That kid’s a mom now
