The sun
came out
after
a long enough
absence
and
I easily found
a place
to park
much nearer
to where
I was going
than could be
expected.
People
whose help
I needed
remembered
my name
and
were glad
to see me.
A number
of tasks
that
should have been
difficult
were not.
I finished early
forgot one thing
that
has to get done
and
can easily
tend to that
tomorrow.
A fine respite
under
threat of war
and
in the face of
other
devastating forms
of rage
for which
I am grateful.
