I have no words today
things were already busy
the plate full
overflowing
like the gutters during that storm on Monday
or the blossoms in that daisy flowerbed
redolent
effusive
lavish
exuberant
gushing
okay really just too much
but who is to decide when much is too
I awake to a new day after all so this much mustn’t yet be too
much
so go ahead universe
throw in that broken hvac and dad in an ambulance and the meeting with words uncomprehensible and immenent delivery of prebuilt and can’t do it yet sorry and can we have just one more day plans changed and unavailable until july * and mom
so sad so sad so sad and scared
and me here so far so far so far away
I can take it

Love the defiance! So many odds stacked against this fine poem, yet you prevailed. Nice one!
