I went to the market for peaches.
I came home with peaches and a conversation I did not schedule.
Daily Smile
All smilesI carried an umbrella to be responsible.
The rain respected the effort by waiting until I put it down.
The fog had an appointment downtown.
It arrived early and stayed through lunch.
A neighbor showed me a shortcut up the hill.
It was shorter in distance and longer in regret.
I ordered my coffee the same way as yesterday.
The barista nodded like we had both learned something.
My dog has a fuller social calendar than I do.
Three walks, two squirrels, and a standing meeting with a fence.
The group text made a plan.
By evening the plan had a subcommittee.
I wheeled the recycling out with confidence.
The lid did not share it.
The school bell and my departure time are not friends.
They have never been in the same place.
I opened the toolbox to hang one picture.
The picture is still on the floor. The toolbox is not.
