Living in the unknown is exciting Everyone is equal in many ways Outcomes of efforts will vary Just like in real life This morning I look out the window The day is bright but gray The wind is blowing out of the southwest Limbs are moving slowly up and down I look at my trained metal birds Their feet are anchored They are in snow up to their ankles And keep looking to the west I look to the west and see three deer They are grazing on new bare turf A week ago it was covered with snow They have pruned most of my landscape I will not be swimming today The lake looks inviting, but I have an open sore on my foot It happened when I tripped on a rock Everyone is layering today Undershirt, t-shirt, long sleeve shirt, Vest, scarf and overcoat and mittens A lot of work but the garbage has to be taken out We have not turned on the television The news is all negative Talking heads with all the percentages The library is closed Children are helping the infirm Take out only at the restaurants Grocery store is crowded People offer excuses for buying so much I wonder if we will ever learn I will report all that I know to my Superior Stanski March 23, 2020 ^
