trying to keep a plant alive on a black tar roof
trying to get through a window when you are a robust firefighter
trying to park a fifteen person van in reverse
trying to climb a tree with dead branches
trying to cover a tattoo with drug store makeup
trying to explain evaporation to a three year old
trying to walk in sneakers with a broken pinky toe
trying to pretend that death doesn't sit in your mind as a blinking exit sign
