Retail Laziness

A sitting sales clerk
Threw returns in distant bins
Might explain their shelves

Recharge Time

Our usual stop
With words flying between us
We recharge for next

Happy Hour Starts the Night

Two martini start
Veered into pressured shopping
Hating Halloween

Costume Timer Starts

Fleeting thought blurted
A costume crusade for me
Halloween duress

Sunday Choices

As the house clears out
We bolt for an errand run
And snuck in a date

Evolution of Kids

The boys sleepover
While we watch ours on a map
We run their old play

Not So Cute

Glance out the window
Black stray cat in our backyard
With a dead bunny

Fixing the Sizzle

Electrician hunts
The scorched remains on the wall
Faulty smoky wire

Kitty Legacy

The cat left a trace
It’s the weird keyboard clanking
From his clomping feet

The Sizzle

The outlet sizzled
Plugging in the work laptop
Afternoon escape
