Yesterday, today, and then every other day! These are the days of the week  that somehow counts for me. During these hopeful days the week goes by quick as a snow slide, and frozen tears of ice through the corners of my eye in my locked up window... These days goes by through the front glass of my car, fogging my way & my whole vision. Yesterday, today, and every other day the newspaper arrives at my doorsteps, rain or shine. St. Pete Times or USA Today,  are left outside for me, soaking wet  and tintilating,cold, and moody, with only sad news to offer me... Nothing seem sadder to me that a cold and rainy humid winter, without dirt snowangels, half melted and salt spread all over it. Salt bring bad luck. I was told. No. Nothing is sadder than a rainy winter day when its snow is no longer white but a dark shade of gray like the disarrayed fur  on a grayish and old  fake mink coat... The snow is not hard as rock, is soft like melted sugar in my warm coffee cup. Yesterday, today, and every other day I lit a smoke, that I promised to quit yrs. ago. And I watch through my window this melting snow,  dressing the cars in white, the departing airplanes humming loudly outside, and the lonely, but wild, and crazy  laughing gulls singing mindless of everything that's going on around. Laughing loud at my boring days; Today, yesterday, and every other day...

Days of the Week
Yesterday, today, and then every other day! These are the days of the week  that somehow counts for me. During these hopeful days the week goes by quick as a snow slide, and frozen tears of ice through the corners of my eye in my locked up window... These days goes by through the front glass of my car, fogging my way & my whole vision. Yesterday, today, and every other day the newspaper arrives at my doorsteps, rain or shine. St. Pete Times or USA Today,  are left outside for me, soaking wet  and tintilating,cold, and moody, with only sad news to offer me... Nothing seem sadder to me that a cold and rainy humid winter, without dirt snowangels, half melted and salt spread all over it. Salt bring bad luck. I was told. No. Nothing is sadder than a rainy winter day when its snow is no longer white but a dark shade of gray like the disarrayed fur  on a grayish and old  fake mink coat... The snow is not hard as rock, is soft like melted sugar in my warm coffee cup. Yesterday, today, and every other day I lit a smoke, that I promised to quit yrs. ago. And I watch through my window this melting snow,  dressing the cars in white, the departing airplanes humming loudly outside, and the lonely, but wild, and crazy  laughing gulls singing mindless of everything that's going on around. Laughing loud at my boring days; Today, yesterday, and every other day...
