Saturday, July 10

catch a break.

the clouds have opened up.
nobody up here is bummed out about that at all.
not at all, at all, y'heard?
the streak of searing scorchers has been stopped.
rain, rain, rain.
washing away the red brick dust and debris of our new chimneys,
soaking the newly planted treats in the yard,
dropping the inhuman ovenlike temperatures to a reasonable level.
we love the rain, in small doses of dopeness.
pitter-pattering on the metal roof,
spattering the dense leaf-cover like tremorous heartbeats,
and dousing the doo-doo butter with a deluge of drips-
wetness as a direct result of waterdrops actually falling from the sky?
that's A-okay.
wetness from ambient humid oppressive hot hot heat?
that can F* right off, yeah?
consider the situation fixed. repaired, remedied.
the skies are darkened,
but moods are brightened,
and it's about dang time, too.
***********
tea, toast, and nintendo?
c'mon;
plaid dresses and making messes, y'all.
we're in our assigned seats,
and the morning rituals are in full effect.
i mean,
we've got family breakfasts to munch up on a little bit,
and a whole rainy saturday to endure.
i've been tattooing harder than ever,
with less to show for it than usual.
we've been out until dark tending the gardens,
and having a heck of a good time in between all of that.
this is a pretty good one.
a good life, i mean.
i'm grateful for the time i have been given;
never quiet, never soft.....
