Uncomfortable silence reins
A book abandoned

In the den of the big bear
A spotting was made

The lure of automobiles
Too great; not deterred

Sharing love and care
Purpose of the day is lost
To roses and rings

Obscure the view, road absent
National news crew

Big day has arrived
Taken too seriously
Details and ourselves

Neon light burned out

It's January
Warehouse feels the chill today
Two sweaters, at least
