heavy.

Standard

helped my daughter

to pull a dollhouse kit down from the store shelf above

 quite surprised to find

 how heavy it actually was 

just before it crowned me

more surprised than anything

all was well

but as we picked it up

with an alarmed store employee

i happened to notice

a little sticker on the underside that said

‘heavy’

 too little, too late. too heavy. 

“heavy is the head that wears the crown”
― wiiliam shakespeare

moon over mi-city.

 last night’s super moon over ann arbor.

if it didn’t take my breath away,

at least misplaced it for a moment.”

kindlfest/midnight madness.

Standard

at the annual ann arbor city-wide celebration

a wonderful band from russia plays live

and the crowd can’t get enough

with tons of warmth both inside and out

i may have agreed with a couple of little people

after a very fun evening

with daylight savings time in play

that it was ‘midnight’ 

as the bells chimed a different time.

“instead of hate, celebrate.”
