Ten.One Thousand, Seven Hundred & Eighty-Four

1. Is that the sound of rain?

2. I float in and out of consciousness. There is nowhere for me to be but right here. This is what I love about a metal roof.

3. Still listening to the water drip drop through the trees.

4. Finally together again. Doesn’t matter that it is virtual. Soul fed.

5. No one has eaten lunch yet and it’s almost time to go. Uniform has not been washed. He asks me if he knows where his shirt is.

6. I stare out the window while I eat popcorn. The vineyards are green and lush. The clouds are still low, hugging the tops of the mountains.

7. And no cleats.

8. Surprisingly warm and humid. Bad plays. No energy. It’s like they don’t even want to be there.

9. Everyone needs boundaries.

10. We all know the reason why it looks like this.
