Frustrating shopping day
The sun is shining.
(Super C don't deliver Mondays.
I found this out after an hour's heavy grocery shopping.)
It's a beautiful Autumn day.
(Canadian Tire don't have any bearable lamps
and the ones in Zellers made me want to barf)
I chose a new typing chair in Bureau en Gros
(which is a good thing, because this one is so broken
it makes my shoulder hurt sitting here.)
I bought lots of good food in Marche Atwater,
(which remains a joy forever,
but I am so worn out).
All over the world
(represented by you, my "friends" list)
people are cooking, dying, falling in love,
starting new courses,
leaving their partners,
getting ill, getting well,
marrying, mourning, reading, writing...
I think I will put on a skirt
and sit under a tree in the sunshine
mindlessly,
watching the leaves sift down over my lap
like gold.
