Poetry Monday: The end of a three-day Holiday
Kamal (Perfection), 3 Sultan (Sovereignty), 164 B.E. - Monday, January 21, 2008 about 3:12 PM PST
Three days off in a row,
a Monday with nothing to do
except lounge around the pool,
if it were a little warmer outside;
the children are home from school
and the banks are closed,
but the malls and the gas stations are open.
No mail today,
so no bills will come until tomorrow
then they must be dealt with
in the mean time
we huddle in the house
making sure the thermostat
is just high enough to keep us from freeze,
but too low for comfort
without two sweater and a heavy winter coat.
