We don’t know what we want.
We ask, don’t receive. Flush our sleeves with vain tears! We receive, and oh, woe! Unintended consequences, our sorrowful song.
“Some quality time at home would be nice…”
mispent wish …
the gift we can’t keep
or give away

Indeed. My days have settled into a routine: morning meditation, coffee, breakfast with more coffee, work (running remote learning classes from my office), family walk, poetry, dinner, poetry, family time, evening meditation (if I’m not lazy), sleep. Not that different then when I worked in my school.
