three pears
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
