juice.
after a breakfast with the grandies
sandwiches, coleslaw, hash browns, pancakes, and juice
talk turned to our worst juices
tomato.

‘mine is hot dog juice, i tried it.’

very little.
after a fun afternoon
and wonderful evening
spent visiting and playing
grandies are tired and tucked in
when suddenly the tears come
missing mom and dad
and after
a story, Kleenex, hugs, a visit from the cat, and a goodnight call to mom
everyone settles in for the night
including bunny
does it get any better than that?

the tipping point.
saw this in the early morning when walking downtown
I wonder about the story behind how it got there
was it a server at his/her limit
finally reaching the tipping point
throwing down the apron
tying them down
abandoning ship
hoping for
something better/different/new out there?

team spirit.
first game of the year
and lots of excitement buzzing around town
most everyone embraces it
even the new arrivals on campus
on sorority/frat row
and the car wash
that stays open and works
while also hosting tailgaters
complete with
buses, games, food, and mini bar
now that’s team spirit.

butter.
(not me, but a tiny brit/ fellow lover of butter,
who began by trying to make pancakes with his brother,
before it all went happily off the rails
and he ended up
covered in butter with a butter shampoo.)
—
when in maine….
apparently the warm, melted butter
was waiting to ambush me
it went perfectly
with everything I ate
due to my obvious positive response
and unapologetic joy
they just kept serving me
things that could go with it
(everything)
and at one point
(I didn’t even notice)
the protective bib I was wearing
somehow fell off and was under the table
and I found myself
quite literally covered in melted butter
from the tips of my fingers
to just above my elbows
with collateral damage all around
and it was magnificent.
—
It took me years to figure out that you don’t fall into a tub of butter, you jump for it.
