Paid to return things
Paid to advise business
Pay to drink a beer

29

Positive thoughts must
Outweigh negative chatter
Silence and harness

28

I make a small list.
Look at it, sort of, sideways.
I call it a day.

27

Two months in this state
Acknowledged uncertainty
Feels directionless

26

His band's families
Tell stories about years past
In awe, I listen

25

Whiskey Waffles +
Pineapple Pancakes Party.
Drank, but ate neither.

24

Almost paralyzed
By the things I haven't done
I'm working through this

23

Attempt a routine.
Cover letters, yoga, and
decide on new goals.

22

the weight of my day
sitting in this chair gazing
hours pass too quickly

21

To make progress takes
So much time making small moves
Trust that it will work

20

Biking place to place
Up steep hills, don't know the way
To houses and parks

19

The best day is when
the person who deserves it
Gets the job they want.

18

We're townies tonight
Bar to bar to bar to bar
Observing people

17

Can't sleep. Consumed by
recalling the moral of
Princess & the Pea.

16

Grumpy lady day
Nice customers, a good sweat
The day is done soon

15

To a new LA
neighborhood for a potluck
and a Scrabble game.

14

Lazy without a
Lazy day intention means
I get frustrated

13

Watch golf on tv
While I both wait and think on it
What is it, for me?

12

Knees ache from standing
though looser after bike home
Fall on bed, read news

11

Waiting room reading
Mixed with people watching
Witnessing this world

10

Quiet reflection
On the things that are passed me
Before I steer on

9

Filled my birthday with
rye pancakes, french fries, beer, pie
plus so many friends!

8

Ev'ry so often
A collection of moments
Leads to perfect day

7

Lists, like to make them
And more, to cross a thing off
As I get things done

6

Yoga for shoulder
Night guard worn for grinding teeth
Splint for crooked foot

5

Sit side patio
Two ladies puzzling it out
Time I need to take

4

A future's out there
So I'm searching, or something
For where I could end

3

Learn about eyeballs
Doctor says I'll have degree
By the time I leave

2

In Oakland graveyard
Walk with Lauren, Linnea
Before driving home

1

Coffee, booze, rain walks
Then out the window I see
Hometown friend on street
