a ~ Rubbing its back upon the windowpanes
It’s summer vacation, in all it’s glory and gory. Yesterday we mowed the lawn. The boys and I took turns, and I marveled at how far we’ve come from a bouncy seat perched on the porch to almost-brawny kids pushing

a ~ And indeed there will be time/For the yellow smoke that slides along the street,
Shall I tell you about my sinuses? Because that’s what yellow in the road makes me think of. No? Not much interest in my daily allergy struggles? Neither am I. Let’s talk about time. But that, too, is tedious. Who
