We stayed home today
There were signs of rain
At our front door
But nowhere else
I watered the front yard plants
Just in case
They were thirsty
Some plants I thought had died
Are blooming!
I don’t feel like cooking
I’d like to eat out
But that costs money
What shall I eat?
I made a salad out of
A bunch of stuff I had
In the refrigerator
It was barely edible
Ennui!
Mark heated
Chicken nuggets and curly fries
In the oven
Served with white wine
From Grocery Outlet
Voila!
I decided to write myself an
Itinerary of functions
With times attached
As a consequence
I actually
Vocalized and practiced
Some songs for church
And a couple for me
Mahler’s
Kinder-Totenlieder
(Songs on the Death of Children)
The trouble with good songs
In whatever language
Though I prefer German
The notes may be in my range
Most of the time
Nice and low
But every now and then
The notes go way up
Out of my range
I have this conviction that
If I vocalize and practice enough
I will be able to hit those notes
Without screeching
Though screeching might be appropriate
When singing about dead children
Breaking News!
The war is worse
Death toll rising
