Ritual

jude1938

Each day follows the other like

an endless stream of black and white

reprints from the same photograph.

 

Up at 6, uncover the bird

care for the ill

walk four miles

shower, dress, breakfast

emails, write, get the mail

care for the ill

lunch, shopping, cleaning, read

care for the ill

cook dinner, do the dishes

take out the garbage, sweep the floor

watch some TV

care for the ill

cover the bird, go to bed.

 

I think I’ll take up the piano.
