i forgot
all about
this post
waiting patiently
for me
to write words
to accompany it
often
when its quiet here at the office
in the late afternoons
i will write my posts
or
at least
choose a photo
that
i hope
will prompt me
to write
yesterday
was such a day
quiet
with no one around to interrupt the muse
so what happened?
i don't know
i don't remember
i do remember
as
i headed home
that
i hadn't written
hadn't set the post to publish
i would do it
i resolved
when i got home
when i did get home
Toonman and i
got involved
in something
then
the news was on
then the night before Daily Show
then
well
bottom line
i woke
around 2ish
thinking
did i set that to publish at midnight without writing anything
will my devoted readers
lurkers
think
i went
Wordless on Thursday
or
did i not do anything
at all
no
i didnt get up to find out
if that ever happens
i will for sure know
i have lost it
speaking of lost
yesterday
i wore a pair of earrings
i rarely wear
a pair of hearts
that dangle
a gift from my friend Wendy
i wore them
to feel close to her
its something i do
i know
i am weird
anyway
when i got to the subway
last night
i realized
they were not dangling from my lobes
i also realized
that backtracking
- once before this happen, i back tracked and found the lost earring -
wasn't going to work
i had no idea
when
they went missing
i know
exactly
how
it happened
even tho i don't know
when
i didnt put those little stopper things on the back wire
i was wearing my zip up to the chin coat
with
a scarf around my neck
its likely
the combo
caught the back wire
enabling them to escape
i really needed a hug
when i got home
in fact
that
hug
and
the following conversation
they're responsible
for me forgetting to write
had that not happened
who knows
what drivel i would have shared
three pears
i have no idea
if its a good wine or not
i only know labels
like signs
are like a magnet
they pull me in
make me
aim and shoot
and
of course
share

I'm sure that good looking labels sell a lot of wine. I certainly grab for a good looking label on the shelf before any other because I am not a wine drinker.... so when Hubby needs wine, I grab the prettiest one. :)
ReplyDeleteSorry about the loss of your earrings. That's such a bummer. :(
Pretty label..wonder if pear is a predominant flavor?
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you lost your beloved earring, hoping it might turn up near where you put your coat on.
xo
I am so sorry you lost those special earrings, Daryl.
ReplyDeleteI love the light in this photograph.
Although a day late, sending you hugs.
xo.
Oh, I hate losing earrings!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot!
I'm so sorry about the earring. Why does it have to be the very one that feels so special at the time? xoxo
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about the earrings, that would really upset me too. I've learned that I need to put the little rubber back thingies on the ones I really care about in the winter - those scarves and collars are a real menace!
ReplyDeleteIt's horrible when you lose something precious Daryl, don't stress you'll always have the memories. Take care.
ReplyDeleteP.s. i forgot to mention how much I like the mellow tones in your 'nearly forgotten' image.
ReplyDeleteA good-looking label sells wine like a good cover sells a book. I'd happily sample this wine.
ReplyDeleteOh no! You never know...that earring just might turn up in your purse or something like that. (PS...Thanks to you I made it to the dentist and I am so glad it did. Thank YOU!)
ReplyDeleteNext stop the 'eye doctor' and 'typing school' because I spotted an 'it' which should be an 'I'. Oh dear :).
ReplyDeleteI lost a favorite earring due to a scarf several weeks ago...I was pissed to say the least. I rarely lose earrings so this was an 'event.' Ugh! Love those labels...love pears...the only fruit besides apples that I will eat during the winter. The summer will incude watermelon. I know, I have to broaden my palate.
ReplyDeleteDaryl, and I'm glad you did! Share that is! What's the song say: Ramble On!
ReplyDeleteSorry you lost your bling!
I'm so sorry about your earring! That's happened to me way too many times and I still will forget to put the stopper thing on. I'm drawn to labels and names on bottles of wine, too. Such a sucker for marketing. :)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about the earrings, especially since they had such meaning for you.
ReplyDeleteSad that you lost the wendy earring. Thank heavens for hugs. I needed one today. I'm getting pizza instead.
ReplyDeleteOH I really feel close to your right now! I totally understood every word of this post.
ReplyDeleteI've lost red earrings too. Mine were special also, a gift from Carl when he was my boyfriend.
extra hugs, and a packet of little stopper things.
here's another (virtual) hug.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean about labels. :)
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the earrings.. that has to tug.
ReplyDeleteI guess before that you actually had four pears/pairs.
It's especially sad to read that you lost the earrings. Hugs to you Daryl
