as merely an observer of the event
I’d have to guess
that she when she arrived at the store
perhaps with the intention
of buying a tea towel
she did not plan to leave
with a giant metal chicken
and may have even worried
that if she did not buy it today
someone else might come along
and find
they too could not live without it
one day longer.
life is funny that way.

such an interesting mix at lunch
sugar cookies, grated parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes
it made me wonder a bit
when I inquired I was told
the cheese and peppers were there
because they were serving Italian food in the kitchen
and the cookies were there
because this was their new location
and I kind of loved
the ‘no logical reason’ reason for the combination
it made it even better
and why not after all?

“cars are the sculptures of our everyday lives.”
morning yoga at the farmers’ market.
what I passed as I drove by
on my way to get bagels.
it’s all about balance.
some days it’s yoga and organic veggies
in the morning light.
other days it’s drinking a latte
and eating a chocolate chip bagel
with whipped cream cheese
while wearing the yoga pants you woke up in.

not sure how it all went down
but there was just half of a shark
left behind at a local pizza joint
there must have been one battle royale
and I wonder what happened to the other guy.

that moment
at the faculty party
when you get ready to leave
and go to pick up your coat
only to realize
that everyone has
a long, dark, down, winter coat
so you make a best guess choice.
