Reading Buddy

All weekend long

we caught reading time 

together in the loft

(And yes, it was 

really so bright

she had to wear a hat.)

Day Without Women

Selfie

(I was tossing my head 

to keep the hair out of my face.

Meanwhile, in Lansing...

trees were falling all over our house)

Wind-ed

:/

It was a beautiful day,

but crazy windy.

On the highway

the car slid around 

from lane to lane.

Then we came home 

to this. Scary. There's 

a branch coming

through the ceiling

of NuNu's room.

Over dinner, I vented a bit about a person who shall remain unnamed who told me that literature courses should teach "just the greats" i.e. Eurocentric canons.

Quoth the teenager: You mean their slogan is "Make Literature Great Again?"

Whoa. My favorite.

Boozy Poppies

What you might do when
the kids are at school
and you and your work
friends are on break.

Just before I drank from the Solo cup
that held the paint-water
instead of from the Solo cup
that held the pinot.
