A Day Shovel a snowdrift of papers, stack the outgoing, file the incoming, worship the cursor, answer calls - cords unraveling, suffer the B.S. of endless powwows, then in a mass of metal inch toward home to slice and sauté imitate a gourmet, clean the scraps; separate light from dark in churning machinery; settle overdue demands, sort out levies, check the homework, sing a lullaby, buzzer now set, lie awake with worry, give a kiss goodnight. © 2001 Corinne Bailey |

too heavy to say "been there, done that".... as I have this darn internal clock... hire out the cleaning... but do the laundry... stuff the shirt then fill the bill but daily wait for my daily fill... Well done Corinne....well done indeed! |

The delights of a DAY when everything is just as it should be, mundane perhaps...but it all ends with a kiss. What more should any of us ask? Thank you. |

some "days" seem a mite more bleak some "days" seem a mite more hopeful Strange how it is - that we persist through the routine knowing we will find reason on "days" where we'd least expect Damm - you write well! |

Thank you all for commenting! Some days it seems like there is no "us." A special note to Bill: You have given me hope - inspired me to go beyond where I thought I could. Thank you. Corinne |
