Pay Day

 

From the joking wife:

 

"You work the OT and I spend it. That's how we roll."

 

 

 

The Robbery Season

 

From the day after Thanksgiving to the day after New Year's is robbery season.

 

 

Grace

 

My eldest is the infant who wasn't and was again.

After a weekend of mourning, we saw her

heartbeat, a flashing light, rising and falling

on the waves in a sea of amniotic fluid

 

 

Court

 

My burg trial scheduled for tomorrow is set over.

 

 

Caution

 

A bike light is a mote,

a spark, in the pageant

of street lights, headlights,

store lights...

 

The parade multiplies

in the rain: one on land,

the second in the street.
