Happiness. It's relative.
Drink Up
This afternoon’s gin and tonic brought to you by
uncertainty about who is doing what when
knowing that Ed Norton’s wife’s name was Trixie
frozen meatballs for dinner
the kid across the street with the perfect backhand
a lawn mown at the end of No Mow May
camping gear on the front porch
the man walking his dog past our house at 5:08
a much-revised essay about hairdressers in my life
the need to do more but not knowing what that is
the relentless passing of time
