Friday Poetry — Being Done
Being Done
Somebody’s snoring
Someone else is wide awake
Elsewhere, people running
Where other walk around a lake
If it can happen
And most things can
Somewhere it sure is
Somewhere in this land
I don’t know who
Is doing what and where
In this amazing world
We have so much to share
So whatever you may
Be doing in the here and now
If you don’t like
Imagine something else somehow
It’s not you taking that other action
But maybe someone who is
Is wishing they were you
Doing some other biz

It’s amazing to think about, sometimes. Any general action you can think of and quite a few specific ones are happening somewhere.
Meanwhile, I owe a double apology this week, as I skipped both Tuesday and Thursday. I can’t make up for both–or at least I won’t–but I can give a few Nothing Day type updates.
The first such update is that I have a date tonight. In theory. I haven’t heard from my date since Sunday–she is one of the Nursery caregivers–but she did agree to go to dinner and the comedy club tonight. I am going to keep trying to reach her until either I succeed or the date time comes and goes. If it happens, I may make a special post about it.
I had lunch yesterday with the bosses. There are two of those, and as I was named employee of the month earlier this month, I had the privilege of one long lunch with the two guys running the little group I work for. It was a good meal at a place I hadn’t been to before but, now that I have tried it, will likely return to.
Meanwhile, I have gotten back into writing. I finished editing Mitheil’s Sister and started working on Children on a Dragon’s Wing again. Last night, in fact, I cranked out about four thousand words on it.
Enough said for now. See you next week.
