Day 30 - Still Life in Words

Today marks the one-month anniversary of posting! Fittingly, I lack any real thoughtful thoughts this evening, so I've decided to woo you with small snippets in Real Time....a mini still-life of My Still Life...

...and ACTION.

The cats zip by, leaving black tracers in the hallway.
The big one watches the small one speed back and forth
chasing nothing.

It's a game of cat and mouse between cat and cat.

I type and sip my wine.

I love them and their silentloud company.

In the beige beige beige living room

I feel California breezes and hear California cars...

The coolness is noted.

Dave is sleeping and I want to go to him but

this is my time, untired, and getting tipsy

for the first time in weeks

I miss my friends because

this is sad, and o, I miss them too.

The batteries in my camera

are dead and my bike

is broken. I need to buy things

so I can show you things

besides this oblong room

in word pictures. Am I getting it?

I wonder

and wander stage left.

Pour. Repeat.

Hearing a sound

I think, 'this is the cat's meow."

And CUT.

I have to tell you that your post and progress report mirrors mine....hmm...except I have had a few smokes here and there just because they were available at the moment. But no more. I'm done.
