The fog had an appointment downtown.
It arrived early and stayed through lunch.
Daily Smile
All smilesI carried an umbrella to be responsible.
The rain respected the effort by waiting until I put it down.
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.
I went to the market for peaches.
I came home with peaches and a conversation I did not schedule.
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.
