Friday Poem

One Can Miss Mountains

and pine. One

can dismiss
a whisper's

revelations
and go on as

before as if
everything were

perfectly fine.
One does. One

loses wonder
among stores

of things.
One can even miss

the basso boom
of the ocean's

rumpus room
and its rhythm.

A man can leave
this earth

and take nothing
–not even

longing–along
with him.

–Todd Boss

What?

It's October? When did that happen. I came home today and la momma had up Halloween decorations (she's a woman who is very much on the ball about these things).

So much on my mind lately. All of it has to take a balcony seat, however, as midterms take priority. I can't stand being this busy though because I stop doing things that keep me sane (yoga, exercise) and start drinking mass quantities of diet coke to keep me wired.

So a recap of this week because I don't have time to be eloquent:

Monday: Unexpected deliveries at work that make me smile

Tuesday: Decided it was too cold to ride outside and migrated to the basement. Rollers, Fan and 2007 Tour de France DVD created a challenging hour ride.

Wednesday: Picked the last of the raspberries and had them for dinner. Also...Licorice Tea.

Looking Ahead---

Thursday: Last Exam to be completed. Enter excited stage.

Friday: Got off early from work. Lots of playing to follow.


Back to work!
