HIGH AND DRY IN SANTA FE

It is snowing. Looking out the window-

I sit in my room waiting (no car,

unmotivated [city on COVID

lockdown], oh well).

The snow looks like Dippin Dots. It rests

on our balcony. My wife went out,

came back in; now cotton

candy-like fluff all over.

Only water.

I wish I had my car but

I really don't have

anywhere I want to go.

My eyes drift to the yellowing leaves, intermixed

with fading greens. The ivy, by contrast, is going

red.

I want my car.

I have nowhere

to go. Without it,

I feel stranded

in the middle

of a desert.

Advanced Leisure

I started another blog that I will loosely term a "lifestyle blog." It is really a place for meditating on the nuances of everyday objects and the time that we pass as "leisure." My first post is on chairs. I came up with this idea as a means to prompt myself to think about an everyday object in more creative ways. The more I thought about the subject, the more I realized that such an exercise can be very fun and even surprising at times. I hope that you will check it out. Thank you for reading!
