something
about the door,
something
about a leak,
something
about something else.
Next
morning,
Marcie
greets me at the door
with
a German Shepherd and a can of beer.
Warren
points to a chair, winks.
I
love this man.
His
week laid out
one
med at a time.
Today’s
rainbow is Wednesday.
For
a while it’s the weather,
and
then it’s the kids.
But
it’s never the work.
It’s
always the something about the something else.
