A rushed life.
Small. Feathered. Anxious.

If it’s important—
Surely they will wait for you.

because of three locations, applied aggressively.)

maybe even better, rhyme)

The bigger they are, the easier they are to trip up.
DeleteRhyming is so yesterday. Probably why I like it.
Hope the chemo packs the necessary muscle.
I feel kind of like that living in what feels like dangerous times and waiting to wake or be beamed up.
ReplyDeleteI fear the mothership looked at what we are doing to the joint and packed up and went home in disgust.
