Learning new patterns. We are not in charge of the "returning to school process." Me, the cats, or the turtle. The other two are sliding through a longer process than I had anticipated. One is off getting a bike carrier, the other is vacuuming the rug for her dorm room. I am watching.
I thought it might help
To keep them company
So they might leave
Sooner.
No.
This is a repeat
Of vacation preparation.
I declare today
Is day one
Of moving back
To school.
It will happen
As it happens.
I will write
As I write.
The cats
Remain
Cats.
The turtle is active
In his turtle tank.
The plan was to leave
Today.
Classes begin on Monday.
No matter what
Classes begin on Monday.
