working from home ends
now i must say bye to pup
reality bites
arriving today:
my kids who text me daily
my kids, yes, my kids
did she read my words?
did she see what i just wrote?
alas, i’m tired
i want to see them
just as he does, biking there
in the midst of lunch
seeing their faces,
having a conversation
without this damn screen
my paper artist
finished her first high school art
with paper and paint
head down, overwhelmed:
it’s hard to make solutions
for his new world
endless tabs open
Google Meets tries to cheer us
but we’re stuck on screens
remote learning sucks
except with a cat or mat
how we love our home
ten minutes of rain
won’t wash away the fires
in mountains, in souls
a cake that collapsed,
a zucchini casserole
without zucchini
oldest in college
(concurrent enrollment win)
(can remove spiders)
youngest wants hair cut
just in time for her birthday
my new career–ha!)
Zoom meeting hell day
computers that will not work
need zucchini love
