My kitties like their breakfast—
like to scarf down ev’ry taste —

Each day brings some new test.
I’m grateful for the quiet night
that brings some time to rest.

They’re mewing with contentment
as they sharpen up their claws.

I weep for our country.
I weep for the hate.
I weep for our future.
I fear it’s too late.
Virus Toll
The horror of this Virus

Word of the Day: Discombobulate
…to confuse, disconcert, upset, frustrate….
I’m feeling discombobulated.
I fear I’ll be the one who’s fated
to stare at the world in stark surprise,
unable to trust my very eyes.
