I am clinging on to

 short sleeves here.

I am defiant against the approaching Winter 

Giving no heed to the speed of the passing of days

Where nights' flights of fancy imagine that it's not that cold yet here.

You never think a vegetable is gonna call you 

But then onion rings.

It's really hard to get back into serious poetry when there is a comedy show here at bedtime.

I am clinging on to short sleeves here.

I am defiant against the approaching Winter 

Giving no heed to the speed of the passing of days

Where nights' flights of fancy imagine that it's not that cold yet here

It's not that cold - yet 
Here nips the wind a little harder.

Here pokes the shards of icicles twixt nerve endings 
And the hope that I hold of

Warmer weather never losing my enthrall.

I had my fourth full at home day since moving on Saturday. I had an ambitious list and completed almost half.

Mother's Day I got to spend with my girls and V, failing at furniture shopping (a lot of gob-smacking was undertaken), lunching, cuddling kittens, bowling, cooking, eating.

Today I worked and then came home and cooked culturally-appropriated stir fried rice and vegetables,

That $84 will be the best $176 you ever spent."


I am pooped and it's not even Tuesday.

You?
