Halfway There

“I reached for my scrinchy-waisted shorts, having just found them again from underneath the pile of clothing just in time for immediate donning.

As I drew them up over my legs, the thought preempted, “Maybe they won’t fit, anymore?”

But then – ta-da! – they still did!

And then – ta-da! – their button flew off!

Luckily, I could still temporarily use the tie strings to keep them on for the needed moments.”

Looking For You

Closing my eyes and sinking into sleep, the brightest flare-flash to my right – near-blinding in its golden-white of dawn – rising early morning from a person’s form, interupting with a shadow briefly passing and then retracting in front of it.

Turning away from the first randomly chosen house’s pathway leading from sidewalk to door to my left that I was about to knock upon, I look right and see you walking toward me, your hands deep into pockets with eyes to ground.

As awareness expands, you look up, and then our eyes meet.
