IMPROVISED
Sometimes the most interesting part of life
is to improvise – to fix things on the run –
to get it done with what we have at hand.
Grey duct tape helps, So too imagination.
So too experience along with the ability
to laugh at our own creations. They need
a speaker on the spot. Here I am, gang.
Here l am. So too a broken window. So
too a broken toilet seat or venetian blinds.
Was that God’s method on the six days
of creation. And it was good. Good!

NO
Just two letters –
in this very short word ….
A word that can say so much….
It could be a
“No” to a marriage proposal ….
“No” to another drink ….
“No, I don’t want to go.”
“No!”
Sometimes it all depends
on just how we say it.
Sometimes it all depends
on how another knows us.
“No!”
You still don’t get it.
“No, I know exactly what I’m saying.
“Yes, but I know
exactly what you mean.”
“No, you don’t.”
“Yes, I do.”
“No!”

IT ALL
DEPENDS
Sometimes I like to hear the sound
of rain on our roof – especially in
the Spring - but not
in the fall when
I know that means leaks and we don’t
know where the bad spots are – the
wind can push that rain – through holes
we don’t know where they are. Just
rain – no metaphor – just rain and
leaks – Autumn – just rain and music
on my roof – Spring – beautiful Spring.
