The Only Things



The only things that might get me through today are the bag of chocolate-dipped amaretti I bought last week, and Jussi Bjorling singing Ombra Mai Fu.  It’s definitely a day of defeatist thoughts, despite my best efforts.

Comforting thoughts:
a little pot of sage
Whole Foods chicken curry
red peonies
my favorite denim skirt
a cottage by the sea

Defeatist thoughts:
a little pot of sage I won’t remember to water
a leaking paper carton of Whole Foods chicken curry
the bunch of red peonies I couldn’t afford
my favorite denim skirt that’s too tight at the waist
the cottages by the sea that have already been rented
