around here

...
how to let it happen is to let it roll.
dates, important dates lie in wondering waiting.

8 or so.
wondering when what where who.

So we wait.
a flowing holiday unwraps
as slowly as the most ordinary day,
sitting here to see what's there.

Oh, yes.
groceries.
dusting.
a tree.
only 1 box of memories look good.
just as good.

together.
watching a first season and laughing HA!
electronics have their place in family.

together all at once at the funk gig
where music lubricates the relationships
into a well run machine.

and there you are.
that's the holiday.
that's it.

with much tenderness against
the usual, itchy, over-planned lists and dates.

this is just the thing.
