the swell of the smell of
baking bread
with the spices still entwined
in the ridges and lines
of my hands

[the morning between
an economic blackout day
and a snow day]
[we can be a cozy, homey couple
when we want to be]

March 5, 2022

nothing remembered
about today
nothing great
that got away

just chores
and a good day
with the spouse
no stress
no[t too much] doubt

taking it easy
chilling
getting house-things done
and monkey bread
yeah
we did do that!

no idea
where this rhyme scheme came from
[nor where it’s going]
but i guess
that’s all i got?
yep,
that’s that.
