Last Minute Happy Hour

Learned new party rule
It’s not the number but who
And they made our night

Kids Happy Hour

Nanny and nannied
Went out for margaritas
Time blurred and stood still

Daily Clock Routine

At 4:12 each day
I get pulled toward a clock’s face
Before thirteen shows

Last Minute Shopping

With her Greece trip near
Emmys and Iowa paused
Our screen turned to carts

Light Switch Mayhem

Only two switches
For twenty-plus years, we guess
Yes, it’s all of us

Pivot

They missed the party
We switched to a laid-back meal
An exquisite swap

Friday Surroundings

Friday goes quiet
The work checkmarks are in place
Alarms are turned off

Friday Eve

Thursday is too close
To my heightened weekend hopes
Before time runs off        

Work Before Rest

Work and home edits
All-day relay race with words
No finish line yet

Prepared for Not

We were all prepared
But then the “news” was delayed
Or was it fiction?
