Air Quality’s improving –

up from “Toxic” to “Quite Bad.”

This year of 2020’s shaping as

“The Worst We’ve Ever Had.”

The Virus rages round us, so

the Risk is present still.

If the Virus doesn’t get us,

Air Particulates will.

Today I washed my dusty car.

It’s something of a chore for me.

But one good thing stands out by far:

How much better I can see!

Today I sat on my back porch

and soaked up September’s sun.

And I realize, to my surprise,

that winter’s nearly begun.

I live in a house with three old cats

and they live here with me.

I may be daft to have three old cats

but I have come to see

that living in a house with three old cats

is better than living with just me.

Today I crossed the Boulevard.

Traffic bears down really hard.

I always use a sturdy stick

and make the crossing super quick!

More planes are flying from Paine Field.

Air traffic’s on the rise.

The summer closure to passengers

was a very nice Virus surprise!

Every Day when I Exercise,

my whole life flashes before my eyes.

I’m always careful, but I worry still:

If the Virus doesn’t get me, the Boulevard will!

My Corona Virus Compost Pile is a source of interest to me.

It must be doing something.  What that is, I just don’t see.

I suppose that every compost pile is really a lot like mine.

It’s actually doing something, and what that is—is Fine!

I’ve finished up my morning walk.

The air is crisp and clear.

The smoke that settled on the Bay

hasn’t reached me over here.

I live in a house with three old cats.

I bought me a brand new chair.

I’m still in the house with three old cats.

My chair’s clawed beyond repair.
