Makin' an Shakin'

POMEMAKING

What's the point
of pome-du-jour?
What does it ever
save or cure?

For myself,
there's this allure—
waking up, daily
fresh and pure.

HOT HOT DATE

sez git ready
sez git set

sez you're in

POINTING THE WAY

Where we’re headed is up aways.
Keep straight ahead, and ignore the turnoffs—
this first one goes to the water plant;
that next one goes nowhere,
and takes no time getting there, either.

MONDAY MOANING

Friday night, I just collapse.
Saturday, I mend.
Sunday, I catch up on chores
and (just as Sunday ends)
get revved up and ready
to launch a fun weekend.
