the days go by in pleasant routine
only occasional disturbances
with grandkids unexpected visitors
the mailman ringing at the door
because the letter would not fit the box
the neighbor asking for a favor gladly granted
someone who wants to sell some things
the days go by
preparing meals go shopping
splitting the firewood
running the wash
checking the email
go swimming and do AquaFit
occasionally have a lunch with friends
the days go by
and I occasionally wonder
about the undesired goal of passing all that time
as days go by
quotidian chores household sports friends routine end timepassing
