with a furnace blast of summer, offspring complaining about too much sun driving them away from the park to the comic book store, to mc don't dolts, clothes hung up on the line drying way fast, watering containered plant with partially yellowed leaves, how long can they stay out, a few years ago the warmth lasted, the roses bloomed into mid November, a pot of dusty miller overwintered & bloomed yellow the second year, we may wear sandals yet again, may put our city feet into Lake Michigan on the Michigan side, how long before the layers of swaddling start again?
stories without a point, pointed sticks, jokes without punchlines, sputtering angry outbursts, ephemeral whatnots, wispy thoughts, sad regrets, dreams of spring, nostalgia for childhood lost, nosy neighbors, noisy neighbors, what the neighbors left behind when they moved, whiskers on kittens, stuff that was stolen, art that was found, misty water colored memories of the way things were, raindrops on eyelashes, foreign body lodged in lower eyelid, cluttered bookshelves, cabinet of curiosities
